tried to make the heart healthy valentine cookies…couldnt shape into cookies, too runny…tried adding more oatmeal stick couldnt make cookies….and ideas?
Pat- did you follow the recipe? Did you use rolled oats ( not quick oats) There is very little liquid in this recipe so they can’t be runny-usually they are on the dry side- try again and let me know
