Recipe Fail!

I have been trying a couple healthy treats, but this week I have failed on 2 of them! Last week I made chocolate chip oatmeal cookies, they were flat as paper and hard as rocks! Today I made no bake cookies, and they won't harden!!! AHHHH!!! Sometimes using healthy substitutes throughout the whole recipe does not work :( And now I feel like I have wasted so much food. Maybe the 3rd times the charm???? Maybe!
