These are way too good!!!! Whether they're on the browner side of done or just slightly under-baked, you really can't go wrong. With only brown sugar they have a wonderful caramel-molasses taste and the texture is great -- the oats assimilate very well into the batter along with the chopped pecans and coconut (I used unsweetened desiccated). Five starts all around!

Cranberries sound good too... I really loved these. Here are the comments I submitted: These are very cool and well-conceived cookies. When you have fully whisked the butter, sugar and eggs together it appears certain the batter won't be able to absorb the rice flour, coconut, walnuts AND rolled oats—but lo and behold, it does! They come together to form perfect and convenient logs. (I think it'd be a great idea to keep one of these at the ready in the freezer at all times!) I wasn't sure how thick the slices should be, and I think I went a little on the too-thick side, but it didn't appear to have caused great harm. Mine turned out more golden than inpatskichen's and it just took a few more minutes for them to be ready. At 12 minutes on the dot my kitchen was suffused with a wonderful, rich scent! The result is wonderful. My favorite part about these cookies, apart from the fact that once you've got your logs frozen they take mere minutes to be ready, is that they are both very rich and light as clouds. As inpats kitchen says, they are not as dry as other oatmeal cookies; they are absolutely delectable. One note: instead of slicing right though these need to be gently sawed so as not to crumble when still frozen.

Again thanks...I "fixed" the recipe (sorry about that) For a while it was showing as an EP, but I guess someone changed their mind. Probably in that computer glitch!!

I'm sure its the glitch. In any event, these are great and I will be making them again. Many thanks for the recipe!

Sounds good! Friend Gigi26 adds dried cranberries and they're a hit in her family...Thanks for your kind words that seem to have disappeared from the head notes!

These were a big hit, inpatskitchen! I loved making them, and several people loved eating them. I have one question: what do you think of adding about a 1/4 cup of cacao nibs to these cookies?
