They are very light and airy, but I need to tweak the recipe. I put them on a silicon sheet as required (by the recipe) in spoon size blobs but in 10 minutes it was one big, happy mass of stuff. I had to spoon the edges back as they cooled to get individual cookies. I'll reduce butter and sugar(they have a Praline flavor) and add more oats next round and hopefully add the recipe here. Quite simple and fast ...

Is that a motto? I am trying a new pastry recipe today for a tart. It is extremely time consuming - start to finish - that only the French can come up with such a procedure. And I bought some local Winesap apples the other day, something else I have never eaten or cooked, so it will be interesting what gets cobbled together. I will report the outcome, either way.
