SO HOW'D IT GO?
"Good for you" is, of course, a subjective description, but eggs and oil seem really out of place in there.
and the 2 cups of sugar....
I loved these! I used vinegar because I didn't have ener-g egg or ground flax seed and I added soy milk to soften dough. I made some straight oatmeal and then some with raisins, walnuts and coconut. Even my dad who has an aversion to vegan foods and anything with whole wheat flour gobbled them up. thanks so much!
My dough was really really unusuable dry, so I added probably 1/4 cup of water which made it a lot better. They didn't look scrumptious but tasted pretty good.

These were really good, but once I put the dry and wet ingredients together, my dough was really really dry. I added some soymilk and it was a little better, but still kind of dry. I also added some cinnamon, 1/2 tsp, but I would add more the next time I made them because I couldn't even taste it. Overall, they still taste really good! ;D
thanks so much for posting your recipe--it is truly wonderful.
i used brown sugar instead of the turbinado, and they turned out great!
I must say, when I bit into these cookies i almost died! Best cookies ever!!
I'm not sure if they are 100% healthy, but they are too tasty for me to care. My friend made these for me, and she didn't even use a a commercial egg replacer, just vinegar. How versatile!!!
