This recipe was very soft and would benefit from more flour or delete the buttermilk. It was so sticky that it stuck to the parchment paper I baked it on. I cut the nutmeg down to half, and at first bite, the flavor was great--but for the past hour I cannot rid myself of the strong spice after taste. Think I will stick to the Quaker Oats recipe I've always used.

Delicious. Easy to make. Flavorful with all the spices and very smooth not too sweet cookie. Made my own buttermilk substitute. Definitely a keeper recipe. Did make cookies a little bigger about 4 dozen.
