I cut Sitra's recipe in half and realized it was almost a duplicate of
your chewy recipe... made a batch yesterday. It definitely wasn't
sweet. It wasn't crisp, but it was too poofy for me and it didn't
look like the image - even after it cooled completely. I had only
enough oatmeal to make what I made, so I need to replenish the supply.
I'll try more oatmeal and less flour next time. Thanks for the
inspiration!
