These were great!! Did not get anywhere near 48 of them and they went as fast as I could bake them. I did not have nuts so added coconut which worked out well.

These came out a little cake like,but were still yummy! I added semi-sweet mini morsels instead of raisins, only because we were out of raisins. My family liked them, so I may make them again.

I have never made oatmeal cookies...I hate to make cookies at all but my husband was wanting them so I tried this To the raisens I added hot applejuice instead of water I replaced all the oil for 1/2 and 1/2 with applesauce I added a cup of coconut I suggest if you like a flatter cookie, flatten with the back of a spoon before baking...these do not spread also let the batter sit for about 10 minutes before putting on cookie sheet so that the oats will sbsorb the liquid

No doubt an easy recipie, however, the texture is more cake-like than a cookie. It maintains its shape while baking which is nice, but it's not what I'm looking for when it comes to finding the perfect oatmeal cookie.

I love oatmeal raisin cookies but these didn't have the flavour I was expecting. I have grown up kids and they have kids and my family just didn't like them much. Too dry and excuse me but kindof tasteless.If anyone has a better recipe and would like to share, I would love to try it.

I made these cookies yesterday and I am glad I did. First, I took others advise and I added other goodies to the recipe. By far this is the easiest and best oatmeal cookie recipe. I love my kitchen-aid mixer and I use it a lot, but sometimes it's nice to mix by hand. This is what I did to this recipe.... I added 1/3 c. ground almonds, raisins, cranberries, blueberries, and cherries to equal 1 cup. I added about 1/3 c. MORE brown sugar. I used brandy to soak the fruit. Instead of 3/4 c. oil I used 1/2 c. applesauce and 1/4 c. oil. I added a sprinkle of cloves and ginger, and 3 ounces white chocolate chopped, along with 3 ounces coconut. I could not believe how good they came out and I don't feel guilty about eating them. Thanks for the base recipe Darla.

Really good tasting, but spongy, which was odd?

These are ok, not the best. I followed the recipe but replaced a 1/2 c of oil with unsweetened applesauce. Once mixed I found it very wet, and needed to add an extra 1/2 to 3/4 cup of flour a more thicker cookie batter. They taste ok, a bit bland, maybe a touch more sugar. I will try again, but tweak it a little bit, may try using craisins.

This was an ok recipe. Like another reviewer I thought these were more like a scone than a cookie. I tried various sizes and like it best when I used my mini muffin pan to bake them. They tasted good but I wanted a more traditional cookie. I omitted the nuts due to allergies.

Really easy to make. I agree with one of the reviewers it's more cake/scone-like than it is a cookie. Will definitely make this again.

I did this faithfully, and the cookies came out "cake like". They were too moist, though the taste was good. The cookies also stuck to the baking sheet and came out funny on the bottom. Sorry; I just didn't work out for me.

I absolutely love this recipe. I followed teh exact recipe and was very happy with teh results. Then I made it with 1/2 cranberries, 1/2 dark chocolate chips in place of the raisins and they were a huge hit. Inspired by another reviewer's comment of a breakfats cookie- I used applesauce in place of the oil, 1/2 whole wheat flour, an extra half cup of fruit (cranberries and raisins), and baked them about twice as large for about 14 minutes. I was really happy with the results of these. This is a fantastic base recipe and also easily tweaked for a dessert or morning treat. Thanks!

Wow, I was surprised at how much I like these! Soft on the inside, crispy on the outside. The spices add a really good flavor. Admittedly, I soaked my raisins in rum, not water...

Yes, they are easy...no, they are not cookies. I too followed the recipe to a T and they are more like spongy cake. Pretty disappointed.

Well the consistency is a little less than cookie-like...but the taste is great. I didn't add the raisins but instead did chocolate chips and coconut flakes along with a little extra brown sugar. I did have to add a bit of water to the mix because it seemed so dry but by a bit I mean a tablespoon maybe. I think I'll try some other recipes...but will probably make these again anyways.
