<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Sorry this took so long, but replies are still coming in for my question on where to get rice flakes in the USA to try to substitute for oatmeal cookies. Bottom line is: try the local Oriental store, or one person actually had them at her health food store. But everyone who has tried making these cookies say they didn't turn out very good. They use buckwheat flakes instead. One person uses soy protein. Then there is the ever-popular Bette Hagman recipes substituting almonds. These are in her 2nd and 3rd books. Isn't it funny that, of all the foods we CAN have, we still want what we CAN'T have? Thanks to all for your responses. Debbie McCollister "Man shall not live by bread alone." -- Jesus
