Fabulous cookies!
My girls and I make a lot of cookies and these are one of the best recipes we have discovered! I do exercise at Curves and saw this in their magazine Diane, but lost it, then discovered this site by looking for the recipe. These cookies are not too sweet, but just right! Sometimes I use craisins instead of the chocolate chips, and my girls love them just the same. I do add an extra cup of the Curves cereal because we like them crunchy(don't mix too much if you do this, because they won't be crunchy)We have also made them with craisins and white chcoclate chips. The dough freezes well with the oats and cereal. And baked cookies freeze really well. We do this when we take them to school. They are just fabulous any way we make them!
