I never write reviews, but I had to for this recipe. These cookies were amazing. I made the recipe exactly as written, and they were by far the best oatmeal cookies I've ever made. My flatmates raved about them, and they didn't last the night. I seriously recommend these cookies!

These are the best Oatmeal cookies ever. Light and crispy and delicious. Decided not to add the choc. chips, but otherwise followed the recipe to a tee. I don't think the cookies lacked anything without the choc chips, they stand on their own. I finely chopped the pecans. They flattened out but to a nice thickness. It's important to let them sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes otherwise they're too soft to hold their shape. I won't be using any other recipe for Oatmeal Cookies in future. Thanks to the poster. Made 72 nice sized cookies.

Fresh out of the oven, these cookies fall apart in your mouth and are absolutely delish! After a day or so, they become a bit dry and dense, but still yummy. I think they might be better with a little bit less oatmeal. I altered this recipe by omitting the chocolate chips, raisins, and pecans so that I could feed them to my 15 month old son. We all agreed that they were yummy! Would definitely make again!

Very, very good cookie that I will make again & again. I've made this recipe with walnuts instead of pecans, chocolate chunks instead of chocolate chips, and chopped prunes instead of raisins. No matter what, they are wonderful. Next time I make them, I'll try adding some coconut. Some reviewers have said that the cookies spread out too much when they are cooked -- I find that if I line the cookie sheets with parchment paper, they stay nice and mounded. Thank you, Shannon, for sharing this recipe!

The absolute best oatmeal cookies I have ever tested! All of my friends raved about them. The only thing I did differently was I cut the recipe in half and only used 5 tbs butter, still used 1/2 cup chocolate chips, and left out the raisins and nuts. Amazing and so moist!

OMG! WOW! These cookies are AMAZING! I made these cookies for my grandmother - she just wanted plain oatmeal cookies so I excluded the pecans and other things. This recipe doesn't call for 1 tsp. cinnamon, but I promise you it will make the cookie! I added a few chocolate chips and walnuts to some cookies for myself and baked them for 12 minutes to get a little browner - these cookies are so soft and taste so good! You must try these!

This is a GREAT cookie recipe; I omitted the raisins, chocolate chips and pecans and replaced them with 1/2 c sweetened coconut, 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts and 3/4 cup white chocolate chunks... the texture of this cookie is chewy, perfectly sweet- a perfect blend of oatmeal and chocolate chunk!

I have made these several times in the last month and they are the best oatmeal cookies I have ever made. I use dark brown sugar and dark chocolate chips to give them a slightly richer flavor. Wonderful!

These were great! Very moist. The only changes I made were adding slightly more chocolate chips- 1 cup total and I omitted the pecans. Plus I added 1 tsp cinnamon. I baked them for 10 minutes

Great recipe! I did everything exactly as stated except I didn't grease my baking sheet. I already have a non-stick cookie sheet and it doesn't really need any grease for the cookies. I also didn't add the pecans due to a nut allergy in the family. My husband, daughter and I LOVE them!! I will be using this recipe again for sure. Thanks!

Really a great cookie! I substituted butterscotch chips for chocolate (not a chocolate fan) but otherwise followed the recipe and they turned out great. I will definitely make these again, perhaps eliminating the chips altogether and increasing the pecans...
