Heather (Delicious Not Gorgeous) says: December 15, 2015 i had invisalign a couple years ago and was surprised at how painful it was every time i had to switch trays- how can plastic cause so much discomfort?!? hopefully it’s relatively easy for you and you can eat as many cookies as possible! (: i love oatmeal cookies, and find that their chewy, hearty qualities are perfect (not to mention that people tend to ignore them, so more for me!). Reply

Claire VK says: January 22, 2016 Thanks for clarifying the cooking temperature. I did make them and cooked them at 350 degrees. I was wondering if you flattened them before baking or left them round from the ice cream scoop. I am new to your web-site, but I am enjoying your recipes. Made your granola, yum… and making your purple cauliflower tonight! Reply
