I would definately make these again! Though my suggestion is LESS SALT and I only used 4oz of chocoate and they were just right! I also use regular All Bran and they turned out perfect! I'm not sure exactly how many carbs per cookie, but I plan to figure that out before I make them again! four stars

The cookies came out great. I used Wheat Bran instead of Oat bran and they came out great.

I also added splenda brown sugar.

It needs some modifications. 375* wasn't hot enough in my oven. They came out golden on top and runny all the way through after 10 minutes. It took almost 15 to get them solid enough to stay together, and even then they were still runny. Bumped heat up to 400*. That helped some, but they were still runny. Also, don't pat them down like she says to do. They spread out too much and go flat if you do. I added a little more flour and they held together better. 12 oz of chocolate is too much. I added 4 oz and it was a lot.

Flavor is ok. The recipe calls for too much molasses and the splenda gives it a metallic taste and makes it a little too sweet, but the grainy flavor (not texture) is good. three stars
