Doesn’t say how many cookies recipe makes????
Anywhere from 1-2 dozen depending on how big you make them 🙂
Okay, I made them tonight…Found on internet the same original recipe that stated 48 cookies. I halved them as had very little **oatmeal. They turned out nice, but crispy? I like them that way and wonder if that’s the way they are supposed to be..85 years of age, baking all my life and have never made these delicious cookies and with raising 4 sons…
**Anyway, to fix the shortage of oatmeal, I had some oatmeal packets {oats with brown sugar}friends visiting recently left behind and used the packet for the oats, Exactly 1/2 cup as I halved the recipe…Will make again..Thank you! I’m old school and brought up poor, so know how to substitute..
