I made this recipe twice once with the rolled oats and once with almond flour. I prefer the almond flour texture over the rolled oats. I also used egg whites in place of the egg, splenda mix in place of the sugar and dark chocolate chips. My 11 yr old sdon loved these and never knew the difference with the almond flour!! Hope y'all enjopy this!!

    I was planning on making these this week (I love the eating well site!!). Question for you - how big are the cookies once they're done? The recipe (and this site, when I entered the info with my own small mods) says that it makes 30 cookies @ 99 calories each.... are the calories worth it?

    I don't want to eat 99 calories in a little half dollar sized cookie, you know? And I certainly don't want to spend my time making food that only my hubby can eat ;P

    Where do you find almond flour? I don't think I've ever seen it before...

    I found almond flour at heb down near the regular flour. I actually only had a piece of a cookie and I made them as a part of my valentines day gift so mine where cut out in hearts and lip shapes. So to be honest I can't answer the question on how big they are and I also tried to make the recipe a little more health by making the few changes to it!!
