They had a really good flavor, but they weren't chewy.

Good only because I messed up the cookie dough. Exchanged dark brown sugar for light also forgot the apple sauce. What the result was a craspy chewy cookie. So good!!

These were really good and easy. I didn't have choco chips so I had to skip out on these. I added just a lil' less sugar and replaced some flour with wheat flour. All I had was self rising and it worked for all of you skeptics out there. I used pecans for the nuts. Yummy, thanks! RuthY Ruth

These are really good! I just made them (with a few tweaks) and I can't stop eating them. I used 1c. all-purpose flour + 1/2c whole wheat flour; 2c oats + 1/2c oat bran + 1/2c wheat germ; and 1/2c each dried cherries, sweetened shredded coconut, and chocolate chips. I had planned to use walnuts but completely forgot, so I'll just have to make them again soon!

I love this chewy cookie recipe! I did not add the nuts or raisins because my son does not like them, and I used mini-chocolate chips because that's all I had. After eating about ten of these cookies I decided they were too addictive to stay in my house, so I took them to work the next day. Several people asked me for the recipe.

This recipe is amazing, it takes well to modifications and produces amazing and flavorful cookies, all while keeping things fairly healthy! I love to cook for my roommates, and they're trying to eat healthier, this makes a great dessert for any dish.

These cookies were sooo good! Very moist and chewy with a lot of flavor. I added more spices (allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger) and some whole wheat flour. I made half the batch with just chocolate chips and sliced almonds, and then added shredded coconut and craisins to that for the second half. These are really great.

These are fantastic. A little hard to be sure they are done but fantastic. I added cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice to the mix and also used cinnamon applesauce. So yummy.

I really enjoyed this recipe, and so did my mom AND her daycare kids! So it's a good recipe for all ages... I added 1 tsp. cinnamon, and I think that without it, the cookies wouldn't have been quite so good. They're awesome fresh out of the oven, but even better the next day! I baked some for 8 minutes, and they came out looking too raw, so the next batch i did for 10, which seemed too long, but both ended up tasting delicious! I would definitely recommend this recipe!

I've been looking for a really dense, chewy oatmeal cookie recipe and haven't quite found one yet, however this one is still pretty good. I think I may have overcooked the first batch by a couple of minutes-they were not burnt by any means but came out very light and fluffy rather than chewy. The second batch I made sure to watch the cooking time..I'd say 8 min max, and I had a bit of a denser cookie which I liked. The taste is great and I did enjoy this recipe.

Very good!! I used 1/2 c White Whole Wheat Flour and 1 cup All purpose and it was still very good! The Walnuts make it great!! I did one batch without nuts for my kids and they were not as good!

I made them with over a cup of raisins in place of the chocolate chips and walnuts. Very good. YOU MUST let them cool for 5 before you move them. I made these for a BBQ for my husband's work and I used a mini muffin tin to freeze a dozen uncooked and took them as a hostess gift. Also, I added some Saigon Cinnamon. They were excellent! Better than the mix you buy. FYI! It seems like a lot of salt, but it is needed. I skimped and baked a test cookie only to add more to the mix later.

This is a great recipe, I used Macadamia nuts instead of walnuts but other than that I used the recipe to a T. Really soft and chewy-will make again.

I gave these 4 stars because I think they have a great flavor and would probably have a better texture had I followed the recipe to the letter. I was wanting to make a healthy cookie, so I made the following changes: 1c. whole wheat flour & 1/2c. all-purpose. For sweetness I used 1/3c. brown sugar, 1/3c.sucanat & 1/3c. honey. Added 1 tsp. cinnamon, increased raisins to 1c. and omitted chocolate chips & nuts. The dropped cookies of the 1st batch didn't spread out when baked, so I pushed them down with the back of a spoon for the remaining batches, but that made them too crumbly. The 1st batch actually held together better. I will try this again!

I took the advice of other reviewers and baked my first two sheets of cookies longer than stated on the recipe. They were overcooked and not chewy at all. My final sheet of cookies was put in for 8 minutes and turned out perfectly. I would recommend that you put the cookies in and watch for when the edges start turning brown but are still a little shiny on top - that way they set up but are still chewy. I added 1/2 tsp ground cloves and 1 tsp ground cinnamon, omitting the chocolate chips, because I like my oatmeal cookies with some spice.

I really liked this recipe. I added both chocolate and butterscotch chips to it and it was great. My husband doesn't like nuts and I didn't have any raisins so I didn't add those things, but I think that the choc. chips, raisins and nuts would be great.

These were delicious. I made a few changes for a healthier version: 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup raw cane sugar, 1 cup wheat flour, 1/2 cup all purpose flour. I also replaced the butter with non-hydrogenated margarine.
