I thought these were moist and flavorful and my son who I ultimately gave them to thought they were good.

A great recipe to use up odds and ends from the pantry. I followed another member's suggestion using an extra 1/2 cup of oatmeal and used 1 cup of butter. I added chopped macadamia nuts and a dash of vanilla. Very tasty...soft in the middle and crispy around the edges. I used my convection oven with baking temperature of 350 degrees.

Makes a very good cookie! Great as described, You can pretty much add anything you like to them. For example, Ive added cinnamon and apples before or peaches. My favorite is as follows: I use butter instead of margarine, use one cup of wheat and one of white flour, use cup of brown sugar and one cup of Splenda Sugar-Bllend for baking, I use white chocolate chips instead of butterscotch, increase oats to 3 cups instead of 2, add 3 tablespoons benefiber powder (to increase fiber), 3 tablespoons of flaxseed meal, add 1/2 cup of walnuts, and add 1/3-1/2 cup of dried cranberries. YUM!

I took these on vacation. Brother-in-law finished off the entire batch within days. I managed to grab a few, they are great, and I'll definitely make them again.

Great recipe! I also substituted vanilla instead of chips and butter instead of margrine. Crispy yet soft in the center. Thank you, I would say just like my grams cookies.

Very good. Made today for first time. I added a small package of vanilla pudding, just something I've always done with cookies. They were amazing and all the kids (5), and my husband, loved them. I doubled the batch. I didn't run into trouble till towards the end when the dough was at room temp. and the cookies just spread on the hot pan. Next time i will keep the dough in the fridge so its firm. It filled my cookie jar, and I've frozen probably 5 dozen or so. I will keep this and keep making them!

just awesome! brought them to work and everyone said they were great! will def make this again. however, I did make some substitutions. I ground up whole steel-cut oats as I did not have any instant/quick cook oats. Because of this, they came out denser, chewier and healthier with more fiber. I did add vanilla and cinnamon as some other reviewers suggested. Who doesn't put vanilla in their cookies? I didn't have butterscotch chips but I did have some Ghiradelli white choc. chips! that's it. this is the kind of recipe you can fool around w/a bit and add your own flavors and it will most likely be a good cookie!

The cookies are awesome. Best oatmeal cookies I've made. However, I read the reviews before baking and made note of certain ones. So, with their advice, I made some adjustments. I decreased the oil to 1/4 cup, used 3 cups of oatmeal, 1 stick of butter instead of margarine, and of course used vanilla extract. I couldn't understand either why the recipe didn't use vanilla. So, I added 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Oatmeal cookies without cinnamon? With the adjustments made, will use this recipe again and again. Thank you to the reviewers for sharing their adjustments. It improves the recipes.
