Dear god, these are fantastic. Granted, I didn't really follow the recipe. I did up until the '1 c flake coconut' part, when I realized I didn't have any coconut. I subbed for some craisins and sliced almonds, then figured 'what the hell' and added some dried lavender. Chocolate chips too. Oh, and also, I subbed some of the oatmeal for this 10 grain cereal I had because I didn't have enough oatmeal, and also used some nut granola. Really nice texture. And the batter was a little dry so I added just a hair of soymilk. So lots of changes, haha. But the heart of the recipe is the same (lots of oats, oil instead of butter) and these are pretty much the best cookies I ever made - almost gone in 2 days, and I live alone. I can't stop eating them! Strongly recommend the lavender, works really well with the vanilla, walnuts would be good too.
You could also add an extra egg instead of the soymilk. Either way, fucking amazing.
... Also, I went to a show tonight with my new friend, whom I adore. :)
