I made these and they came out flat. I don't know what happened. I will have to try again.

I made this recipe verbatim except that I used light brown sugar. I used also fresh chopped cranberries. I formed the cookies, placed them on a cookie sheet, covered them with plastic wrap and set them in the refrigerator to bake after dinner. When I pulled them out they had turned green. I do NOT know what happened. Would have been perfect for St. Patrick's day! I might try it again. Not sure yet. I did do some research though and learned that there was a chemical reaction between the baking soda and the walnuts. I tasted them before and they were bland. This recipe definitely needs work.

oh these were DELICIOUS!!! I did substitute 1/2 white flour for the flour amount. I flattened mine slightly and cooked them for about 14 minutes. I need to lock these up or I'll eat them all!!!

Having read the reviews and what the submitter Sarah says about dried cranberries also being good in this, I think the recipe means to use fresh chopped cranberries. If you do then you get quite a lot of moisture from them and the cookies do spread. I have also used dried cranberries and then I add a splash or two of milk and they are fine. The mix with the fresh cranberries is more tart. Hope this helps.

my brother made these cookies for Christmas. WOW! they are soft, moist, tasty, sweet, but not too sweet. Just amazing. I couldn't stop eating them, and once they were finished, we've all begun egging him on to make them again. Really tasty! Oh, and replace the butter with applesauce, i'm sure my brother did, he's healthy.

I made these cookies for Christmas and they were a HUGE hit! I had to make a few adjustments, though, due to a last minute lack of some ingredients. I didn't have any whole wheat flour, but I don't think it made much of a difference. I also didn't have as much brown sugar as I needed, so I made a simple glaze from powdered sugar and water to drizzle over the cookies when they were done. Everyone raved over them and we ate the whole tray in one night!! I will definitely be making these again and again.

for the most part, a good recipe, but they were kind of blah--if i use this again, i will definitely increase the brown sugar, and maybe add white chocolate chips.

The cookie is good but I used almond extract instead of vanilla and added sliverd almonds instead of walnuts. I also did one cup all purpose flour and 2/3 wheat flour. The result is a good cookie that does not spread out. Melt your butter to get the flat cookies.

Needs some adjustments. 1 tsp salt, and equal amts of flour and oatmeal 1.5 cups each. I love the combo of flavors.

Despite the mixed reviews, I thought these sounded really good. However, I was a bit disappointed when I tried them after coming out of the oven. I let them sit overnight and tried another one... YUM! I guess they just needed some time? Only thing I did differently was that I added 1 cup of white chocolate chips to my dough and upped the vanilla to 1 1/2 teaspoons. Thanks :)

I'm no baker and these cookies rock! I changed a few things ... 1/2c whole wheat flour + 1/2c all purpose (1c total). only used 1 stick butter (8T). + 1T white sugar. + bit of cinnamon, nutmeg, orange zest. used Pecans instead of Walnuts. Baked for 12 minutes (rotate 1/2 way) and they were chewy and delish!

Well, we did eat them. If you live in Texas, just buy HEB Central Markets refrigerator version, it is much better and cost just as much per cookie! And don't waste your money on Kroger's version, they are not near as good as HEB's!

"Ditto" toLeo249! No flavor,very bland. I added cinnamon, increased the vanilla, they were still very bland! Will make them again, but will try whitesugar& brown sugar,maybe some orange oil instead of vanilla. I will say they tasted a lot like a healthy breakfast bar!

mine turned out very dry, and did not flatten. i mashed them flat after the first dozen didn't flatten, but still, they are a dry cookie. the batter tasted great... too bad. at least they are pretty healthy cookie-wise.

This is the worst cookie recipe I have ever tasted in my entire life. They were dry, bland, and did not spread at all. I threw all of them away after I tried two of them. I recommend adding white sugar to the recipe to make them better. Really, anything would be better than this!!!
