Patti,  I gave up on several "experimental" batches that tasted like cardboard.  I also love a nicely made oatmeal cookie, so i eat one full blown recipe of whatever I want per month....  I think my next month's choice will be oatmeal cookies....  ahh...can almost smell the brown sugar now....yummy....umm...er... I mean "splenda substitute brown suger....argh!"...hehe

I have a recipe and it tastes great even non-wls folks like them. It does have the splenda brown sugar, that some of you don't like. But with the other ingredients it doesn't taste bad like it does on it's own. So here goes:
 Soft Oatmeal Cookies
1 Cup I can't believe it's not butter, softened
1 Cup White Splenda
1 Cup Splenda Brown Sugar, packed
2 eggs
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
2 Cups Almond Meal Flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 tsps. Ground Cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 scoop of vanilla protein powder
3 Cups quick cooking Oatmeal
1. In medium bowl, cream together butter, white splenda and splenda brown sugar. Beat in 1 egg at a time, stir in vanilla.
2. In another bowl, combine flour,baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and protein powder. Mix into butter mixture. Then add the oats.

Cover and chill dough for at least an hour.
3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrease. Grease the sheets. Roll the dough into walnut size balls and place 2 inches apart on the cookie sheets. Flatten with the back of a fork.
4. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transfering to wire rack to cool completely.
To make the cookies taste different you can always add raisins, semi-sweet chocolate chips, chopped nuts. I've made them with raisins and nuts. I've made them with chocolate chips and nuts too. So they are good either way. This makes 48 to 50 cookies. You could always cut recipe in half too.
