Edible, but nothing I would try to give to anyone. I wouldn't want them to think this was my recipe. Like an earlier review, mine spread out on the edges with a lump for a cookie in the center. Not the consistency of the photo that goes with this recipe. Will try a different cookie recipe to get a more consistent thickness with chewiness next time. Bummer I wasted the ingredients it took to make this recipe.

OMG!! I made these cookies last week for a friend at works birthday since Oatmeal cookies are his favourite. Well he said these are the BEST he has ever tasted!! He would not even share them with the others we work with..LOL! I used butter instead of the flavoured shortening, and baked on parchment paper instead of greasing the cookie sheet, and had no trouble with the spreading that others reported. I also doubled the cinnamon because it just did not seem like 1/4 teaspoon would be enough. Since making them both my family and co-worker have asked me to make more....almost every day! This is a definite keeper!!

Best oatmeal cookies recipe yet! Except I add a 1/2 cup of unsweetened coconut...Just to add a little something extra.

Good taste. For those of you who were having trouble with them spreading too much, try using an ungreased cookie sheet instead of a greased one as the recipe calls for. I used a greased sheet for the first batch and got thin cookies that ran together and were crunchy at the edges. No greasing on the second try and they came out perfect.

This recipe was simple to make and very tasty. I cooked them a little less and had a wonderful chewy cookies. I also did not had the walnuts or raisins. Came out perfect!

I'm a terrible cookie maker. But I had all these ingredients on hand so I gave them a try. They turned out great! The didn't spread, were chewy as described, and delicious! I just might give baking cookies another try. These gave me some confidence!
