Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
Looks yummy!
Just made these (before breakfast, lol). They’re amazing. Should they be soft or crunchy? Thank you for sharing and Happy New Year!
Hello Jennifer! So glad you like the GMO cookies. Ours came out soft, not crunchy at all. Maybe you milled the millet a lot less than I did. I milled both the oat and the millet to a very fine flour consistency. Millet is a much hardier grain and could result in a crunchier cookie if not milled to a fine consistency. So maybe yours are more like ginger snaps (lol). If they taste good to you I wouldn’t change a thing! Enjoy! Wishing you a Happy Healthy New Year!
Oh, they were soft. I was just wondering. My family loved them and they’re just about gone! Thank you again.
