| There are chewy, gooey and... I can't think of anything else that rhymes. They are peanut-y oatmeal-y good! They will feed an army so half the recipe if you need to. |

I had my doubts about making cookies with peanut butter, which I usually don't like, but these turned out to be really good--I got a lot of compliements for them. The only complaint is that it took a while to make, but it was well worth the effort anyway. |

These had a great chewy texture, and were delicious the next day. No one could believe they were vegan! The next time I make these I will add peanut butter chips, and then they will be 4 star (I like my peanut butter). |

I tried these things and they were great! The dough seems a little thick when you're stirring it, but I guess it's supposed to be that way, because they came out perfect! |

My only problem with this recipe is that it called for soy milk in the ingredient list but never actually tells you to use it.
Other than that, I thought the cookies were delicious.
I can imagine them with a thin chocolate drizzle on top so I think I am going to make that happen next time I make them.
ed note: Oops! Thanks for pointing that out! I fixed the recipe, you add the milk in the blender |

These cookies are great!! I added chocolate chips, which is tasty. My brother, a vegan and a cookie lover, devoured them. I have made some vegan cookie recipes that have turned out dry and leave much to be desired. These are very moist and chewy. Make them! |

Wow. These cookies are fantastic! I'm not even vegan and I think they're some of the best peanut butter oatmeal cookies I've made. The recipe for me made about 5 dozen smallish cookies. My vegan friends are going to flip, I know it! |

Great healthy recipe. I am not 100% vegan so I was able to substitute skim milk for the soy milk and omitted the molasses because that is an item I don't usually buy and the the cookies still turned out super. This is one of the only really healthy recipes I was able to find. I really appreciate these types of recipes. |

I baked these for a church fundraiser BBQ and they went like crazy! Even the non-vegans were tricked into loving them. I used lite tofu(80% less fat) on accident and was scared at what the outcome would be, but they were fantabulous! |
