Dusty's Mom has been making these for years. They are so delicious! In recent years she has made them with Splenda and whole wheat flour to be more diabetic friendly, but you can make them with regular brown sugar and white flour if you'd like. Also, just a note, if you use QUICK oats, you'll need to decrease the flour to 2 cups. This dough is not like a normal cookie dough, it's almost muffin or cake like, so don't be worried about the consistency, just scoop it onto baking sheets and put them in the oven! (More flour will make them softer & rounder, less flour, more flat & chewy.) And seriously, these are healthy enough for the kids to eat for breakfast.
