This cookie although having several ingredients is just not all that great. And I am a major cookie fan and baker but found it to be pretty boring. I added a little more flour after I mixed all the dough because the dough was so gooey and the cookie itself looked really good, just not alot of flavor.

Everyone in my offices loved these cookies...I added about 1-2 T more butter to make the dough stick together better. Try it with craisins and white chocolate chips!

We love this recipe. The cinnamon and molasses give it a nice flavor. I use a cookie scoop to get a nice, even-sized cookie.

This recipe is great. Living in Denver, I changed it a little for high alt. I added more flour, less baking soda and more molasses. Deleted the nuts. (my son can't eat nuts). Everyone at work loved them. Next time I will try cranberries, instead of raisins/chocolate.

I thought these were pretty good! I took the advice of some others and added a 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. I also used 1/2 cup white and 1/2 cup brown sugars. I did not use any raisins or nuts because we really don't like those, so I just added another 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. The result was a pretty tasty cookie!

Sorry, this cookie was just OK. I was disappointed in the shape of the cookie, as it spread out way too thin and got brown around the end. The taste is OK, however not consistent throughout - it's crispy on the ends and chewy in the middle. I didn't think they looked right before I baked them, as the dough was way too wet. Since I am a big baker around the holidays I try new recipes throughout the year. This one won't make the list as it doesn't even look appealing.

This recipe looks a LOT like my nother's recipe of the same name...with a few changes. Eliminate the chocolate and switch out half of the walnuts for sunflower seeds. These were my favorite cookies as a kid. So moist and flavorful!

I love this recipe. It is very easy to make and I get rave reviews from all who have eaten the cookies. For my non-chocolate lovers, I used dried cranberries or Blueberries instead of the chocolate and they were as equally as good. Thanks for sharing your family recipe.

Hmmm. I think this recipe needs a few more instructions, especially if using chocolate chips. Here's what I would add/change: Important...cool melted butter and shortening before adding to the mix (if you don't, you melt the chocolate chips). I would also cut the butter down to 3/4 or 1/2 as one user suggested; add 1/2 tsp. more ground cinnamon and split the sugar into 1/2 cup white and 1/2 cup raw or demerrara or brown sugar. Other then that, I think the next batch should turn out better.

I wanted to cut down on the fat, so I used 2 tablespoons less butter then suggested and they came out very chewy. I had planned to add apple sauce to make up for the butter I left out but I forgot, and they turned out great. I also added dried cranberries instead of chocolate chips, which made them very very good.

I liked the idea of this recipe. I'm a big fan of a hearty oatmeal cookie full of chocolate, nuts, and whatever else. The cookies I made came out a bit dry but were good overall. I think next time I make it I will add more molasses and more chocolate chips. I made a batch for an office party and though they all disappeared, I have a feeling they weren't people's favorite dessert (but I guess you have to be a big nut/dried fruit fan to appreciate them!)

I played a little fast-and-loose with some of the additions to the dough. My household is not crazy about raisins, so left those out. But used the nuts and chocolate chips and even added some white chocolate chips that I had left over from another recipe. Love the deeper flavor of these over most basic oatmeal cookies and may even try them some time with the raisins. My husband loved and my co-workers "snarfed" them.

This is a really great recipe. The taste of the cookie dough is amazing! The cinnamon gives it a very nice flavour. I swapped the nuts for M&M's b/c I don't like nuts in my cookies. My family gobbled them up! Okay, I had a "few" as well...

These were just ok. They were soft. I tend to like the chewy kind instead. I'll stick to my recipe.

I had to make a few substitutes as I'm in the UK (mainly golden syrup for molasses). These are delicious--the cinamon really makes them! Plus I love chocolate with raisins. Both my husband and I loved them and ate them up very quickly.

Very good recipe, cookies are light and airy. I found that to get a more uniform cookie from this recipe it helped to form balls of dough and press gently with your hand on the cookie sheet. ThankYou Lori

I thought it needed a little more cinnamon. Otherwise an excellent cookie, my daughter who hates raisins loved these cookies. But, should the cookies be removed from the sheet immediately or should you wait X amount of minutes first?
