I made these cookies to take to our Children of the American Revolution and Daughters of the American Revolution meetings. Of course I had to sample them before serving! I found them to have a very mild sweetness, perfect for tea. The children, however, liked them better when I rolled the balls in sugar before baking. Also, I didn't realize I was out of oats so I used 1 1/2 cups fine wheat flour instead. This would be a great substitute for those who don't like oatmeal.
