I am used to healthier and mealier oatmeal cookie recipes and was disappointed in these cookies. The flavour just wasn't there like it should have been. The amount of sugar is way too much (they also spread a lot) and could use at least another 1/2 cup flour and coconut. I didn't see the point of the cornflakes (I used bran) since it really didn't add anything. I would try another oatmeal chocolate chip recipe with more substance!

Tasted good, but spread out so much that they were ugly. Be sure to up the flour and maybe decrease the baking soda a bit.

I halved the recipe and only baked half of that (the rest I froze into a log shape). They turned out great! Didn't add mace, didn't substitute anything for it. Substituted heavy cream because I didn't have any milk on hand.

Yummy! I was not able to find Mace and the Ground Cloves were too expensive. It was still wonderful with the Cinnamon and Nutmeg.

My Dad made these a lot when I was growing up. He called them Garbage Cookies. Silly name, but once you had one, you were hooked. The ingredients always vary by what you have on hand, so you rarely had the same cookie twice! For comfort and memory sake, these will always be my favorite cookie.

We made 1/2 quantity for my daughter to take to school. Unfortunately as there are several nut allergies, we were slightly restricted in our ingredient choice. However, we used Fruit & Fibre cereal (minus the nuts) and Golden Nuggets cereal, in place of the nuts and cornflakes. Not sure how many we will have left to take to school tomorrow! Yummy!

Oh my, these were a hit. They are so tasty with all the different ingredients - and the corn flakes add a wonderful crunch! The spices make these cookies delicious, and are perfect for fall!

These tasted great and the dough is very easy to work with. It is also easy to make changes and still have the cookies come out beautifully. I took the suggestion of others and used extra nutmeg instead of mace since I didn't have any. I only had 2 cups of rolled oats on hand so I added an extra cup of cornflakes. I made them a little larger and baked for 12 minutes. My husband, who normally doesn't care for anything too sweet, ate most of the first couple of batches. Thanks for a great recipe; I will definitely make these again.

Everybody loved these cookies. I did not have mace, so used nutmeg instead as per other reviews. Also used chopped pecans instead of walnuts since that's all I had. I halved the batter and stirred in chocolate chips and M&Ms in one half and in the other used craisens and white chocolate chips. The latter was my favorite by far, but of course the kids preferred the choc. chips and M&Ms. GREAT RECIPE!

What a wonderful cookie. It tastes like a chewy chocolate bar. I added the cinnamon but only 1/8 tsp each of cloves and allspice - no other spices. The result was a mild hint of spice. My family find walnuts too bitter so I used pecans and rice krispie cereal insead of corn flakes. They went fast and this recipe has now made the rounds of the neighbourhood.

I followed the recipe exactly and they are quite tasty. But they came out really flat, I'm not sure why. Perhaps I will try again with more flour or something.

Great recipe! I added another half a cup of flour and brought down the baking soda just a smidge after reading the rest of these reviews. Used white chocolate chips in one batch and peanut butter chocolate chips in another. Almonds instead of walnuts and rice krispy cereal instead of cornflakes in another batch. Also made another batch with raisins. This recipe makes quite alot of cookies which leaves the margin for imagination very wide. Tried a few things and these cookies were amazing every time. Very chewy and are an instant hit!

Good cookies! I omitted all spices except cinnamon and used m&m's for the chocolate chips. Had to bake for 14 min and cookies did flatten- may try adding a bit of extra flour next time like some of the other reviews suggest. Very good flavor!

These were interesting... tasted almost like a gingerbread or molasses cookie at first bite because of all the spices, but the rest of the ingredients added a strange twist.
