You are doing an excellent job. I sincerely love all your post. Thank you.
Thank you so much Jen…i appreciate
Thank you so much. Will try without the peanut butter. Please how can I store the cookies and for how long?
Thanks Chienye. This has no preservatives, so i wouldn’t store it for more than 3 days. It finishes the same day in my house and it’s really quite easy to whip up.
If I replace d peanut butter with chocolate chip that means no butter in d recipe, will it still be okey?
Charity, definitely it will be okay. The peanut butter is optional and i’ve made a chocolate chip version…very delicious.
hello, please must the oats be grounded, can i just use the oats straight from the pack
It is better grounded. You can grind the ats in the pack and store for future use instead of grinding anytime you want to do it.
I don’t have an oven. Can I use the pot and stone/sand alternative to achieve same result?
Ogo, you sure can try it.
Please what can I improvise in place of the parchment paper. Can old newspapee do the job?
Bless, you can use foil paper.
