I think this is a good recipe. I loved Dad's Oatmeal Cookies as a child. This recipe is close to it. Some have said in their reviews that the recipe as written is too spicy and I agree so I went with all the cinnamon and cut in half the allspice and cloves - seemed much better.

I have struggled to find a recipe for oatmeal cookies that has that just-right chewy texture and cinnamon spice flavor like my mom used to make. This one is it! Other recipes made weird, puffy, cookies that were dry and salty. The main modification I made is that I never used cloves (because I never have any, and I usually use 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup butter flavor shortening. The kids love them!

I agree with Lena54, this is not the Dad's Oatmeal cookie recipe that we used to buy in Baltimore.

Although these cookies were okay, they were not Dad's Oatmeal Cookies from Baltimore. I grew up on Dad's Oatmeal Cookies and was heartbroken when they left from off of Pratt Street They weren't this spicy. Some of the spices need to be eliminated.

chewy cookie which is the good part but the spices make this cookie very over powering. If I make this cookie again I am definetly skipping out the allspice and cloves.

These were good - my kids LOVED them - the only change I made was to add some raisins. They were a bit "cakey" for me though.
