Oataroons

These were light and sweet, crisp on the outside and chewy inside - wonderfully different to your typical heavy, fat-ladden cookie. The hint of almond was heavenly. I toasted my oats beforehand to crisp them up. The batter looked a bit liquidy, but didn't spread out too much (to about 1.5 original diameter)

Ok, I definately didn't think these were five stars. They were so small and when I want a cookie, I want a cookie! However, the taste was light and sweet which I really enjoyed. I'm not saying I won't try making these again, but they aren't going to be a recipe I go for when I am having a craving.

These had a cool texture - sort of meringuelike, a bit marshmallowy, but the oats made them more substantial. The oats toasted even inside the cookies, which was cool. I used vanilla extract and peanuts. The peanut flavor was really a bit too strong, but the cookies did taste quite a bit like the inside of a candy bar. I'd like to try hazelnuts in these.

Wow! This is a winner. I was skeptical of this recipe because I thought it would be a weak imitation of one of my favorite cookies - coconut macaroons. Boy, was I wrong! The oatmeal provides a chewy texture very similar to coconut and the almond extract provides just the right flavor. My whole family loved them. I will definitely make these again. Thanks for posting!
