Made these today came out good the nutmeg gives great flavor love the fact that they are fast no having to get out the mixer that cool thanks

a little to much ingredients for my taste but can be tweaked.

this recipe is easy and quick to whip together. these cookies are pretty thick (they are oatmeal, after all) and are not like typical flat, round cookies. i made the recipe as listed, except i threw in a generous 1/3 cup of chocolate chips. they were very tasty, sufficiently moist, and not overpoweringly sweet. if you have a major sweet tooth, you might consider throwing in another 1/2 cup of brown sugar.

I went by everyones comments and added applesause and I felt these cookies were not very tastful. They were moist but not the best!!!!!

These cookies are not only delicious but they are incredibly versitile. We added cherry flavored "Craisins", dried cranberries, chocolate chips and slivered almonds and coconut. They are always moist and delicious too! I start with plain for one kid, then beef em up with what the other kids like as I go. Awesome recipe and a true keeper! Thanks for sharing!

This recipe was pretty good for what I was trying to achieve. I worked at one of those cookie stands in the mall when I was in high school (100 yrs ago) and used to love to make this cookie as one huge one the size of the baking sheet where it could be cut into squares? well thats what I did w/this recipe. The raisins gave it just the right amount of sweetness. I liked it, and it served its purpose as I plan to take it with me on a trip as a "hold-us-over" snack. I made it as the recipe stated. Thanks for sharing.

I liked these, but there were a few things I would do differently next time. I will add less cinn. and nutmeg. They were REALLY strong. Also, I would add a tad bit more brown sugar. These weren't as sweet as I like. In fact they weren't sweet at all!. But other then that they were very good, and I will make them again (just tweeked) I liked the suggestion of another poster on here about making alot as using a fast breakfast. These would be good for that because they weren't sweet! I will try that. Oh I forgot to add that I didn't add the raisins or nuts. I just kept them plain.

I make these cookies every week. My whole family loves them. The only thing I do differently is make them double in size so I get 2 dozen instead of 4. We eat these cookies for a quick on-the-go breakfast. Edited 11/15/07: I am still making these every week for my family. Sometimes I add chocolate chips and coconut.

Fantastic recipe. I used apple sauce instead of the oil and used 1/2 cup of raisins and 1/2 cup of dried cranberries. I made these for a play date for 3 two year olds, (2 very picky eaters) and they LOVED them.

This did not turn out like an oatmeal cookie at all. I did sub applesauce and a little oil (for the 3/4 c. oil) but other reviewers did so with success. It turned out much more like an oatmeal cookie-flavored scone! Having said that... with some butter it was actually quite a good scone and I may make them again... AS SCONES! As a cookie NO way.

I made these cookies and they did not turn out good at all!!!!!!!

I love these cookies! I used ingredients I already had on hand, so this was very quick and easy to do. I am about to bake them again as the first batch is all gone from the other day. A keeper :-)

These cookies were amazing, I didn't put any raisins in them because I don't like them. But even without them they were sooo good my favorite hands down.

Very good! I replaced the nuts and raisins for chocolate chips and they were a hit.

As per some of the other suggestions, I added an extra 1/2 tsp of nutmeg and an extra tsp of cinnamon. Awesome cookies!

LOVE these cookies! I've been making them for about 5 years & they are a staple around here. I use mostly apple sauce instead of all the oil (just put a skim on top) & usually add a couple of tablespoons of ground flax seed for more nutrition. Tonight we ran out of the spelt flour we usually use (wheat allergy), so I used a rye/rice flour combo without the flax seeds. They are awesome!

FINALLY a delicious and easy cookie I can make for my dairy allergic daughter. Thanks so much for submitting this recipe! I added an extra tsp. cinnamon and used 1 cup each of whole wheat and all purpose flour. I didn't have enough nuts so I added wheat germ to make up the difference. Next time I will add even more wheat germ for even more nutrition. I also baked these for 20 min. in a 9x13 glass pan for bar cookies. Turned out great!!
