Made these again today but left them in the ball stage before baking. Liked the size and thickness that they flattened out to be better than the ones I flattened yesterday. Shared them at our ladies Bible study this morning. Big hit!!!

Wanted to try some different cookie recipes this Christmas. Made these this morning for some shut-ins at our church. I loved them and will be pleased to share them. Made them exactly as stated accept used regular oats. I may increase oats just a tad next time but were very good this way. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas from Oregon.

I loved these cookies.... I doubled the recipe and used 1/2 butter and 1/2 shortening.. I also don't use white flour so I used fresh ground wheat flour.. I only used 1&1/2 cup sugar and I didn't roll out the balls, I just scooped them with my melon baller and I did not sugar them again nor did I flatten them.. Oh, and I also used some crystallized ginger... YUM!!!

I really liked them the first time I made them, however I would cut the sugar by about a quarter cup the next time. I found rolling the balls in sugar along with the amount of sugar in the recipe made them too sweet. I found the flavor had mellowed and were better the next day.Jerry, Warren, MI

Yummy. Only thing I would change for next time is maybe adding more oatmeal

These are so yummy and so very easy. The recipe is perfect just as it is, only change I made was parchment paper instead of greased cookie sheets. I always have better luck with lined pines. Thanks for sharing.

to GraminMaine...I don't use shortening either. I use butter or coconut oil.
