 Kathy L. (New York) says:
I did the recipe and added eggs, but I added a banana mashed in advanced. Now 5 days later my son inhaled them. So he asked me to put the recipe in a square pan and bake bars. Well it took 40 minutes and its a cake. But good. I sprinkled cookie sugar and cinnamon on top. Ty guys!

I prepared some oatmeal cookies with the recipe, but I used honey rather than sugar and added cinnamon. DELICIOUS!!!! I used flour when forming the cookies because they were a little gooey (sticky). Bake them for exactly 10 minutes. This is an amazing recipe. I will try this again but I wil add some raisins and nuts next time.

This recipe was a bit sugary to me. I added two eggs. The cookies tasted ok, but fell apart.

Easy, basic, adaptable. Bare-cupboard, sweet-tooth, thanks for the save. Half yogurt, half oil for butter, honey and brown sugar for sugar, and, thanks to comments, which I always take time to read, 3 tbsp. mayonnaise, since I had no eggs. A grated apple and several spices 7 minutes in the oven made a uffy, fluffy, yummy cookie that really hit the spot and accompanied our afternoon coffee delightfully.Very easy, basic, adaptable recipe. Bare-cupboard, plus sweet-tooth brought me here. Half yogurt, half oil for butter, honey and brown sugar for sugar for sugar, and after reading comments, which I always take time to do, adding 3 tbsp. mayo, no eggs here, a grated apple, and several spices, 7 minutes in the oven produced a fluffy, puffy, yummy cookie which accompanied our afternoon coffee delightfully. Thanks to poster, as well as commenters.
