Easy to make and good results. I used some applesause to top off my butter and it worked out well. I don't think it was an overly chewy cookie though as the recipe claims.

These are absolutely delicious! I read that some reviewers' cookies were coming apart, so I added 1/8 c extra flour as recommended and I made sure that I rolled the cookies into tight balls before placing on cookie sheet. I also reduced salt by half, due to reviews that the cookies were too salty. Will make again and again!

These are absolutely delicious cookies. We love cookies that stay soft, and these are perfect. I read the reviews before I made them, and used 2 tablespoons less margarine than called for. They didn't spread flat at all, and the texture is soft and chewy. I baked them on my air bake cookie sheet and it took about 16 minutes. I also chopped up the walnuts real well, and every bite has bits of walnuts in it. Delicious!!!

Good taste, but flat. I followed the recipe except left out the cinnamon and nuts, incread flour by 1/2 cup, increased soda to 1 tsp and only put in 2 1/2 C oats. Also cooked with 1/2 margarine 1/2 butter to hopefully not have them spread as much. Also chilled well and still spread. A good tasting cookie, but not the best in appearance.

This was a big hit with my students. The first batch came out a little too flat, though (not like the picture). I added 1/4 cup more flour and 1/2 cup more oatmeal, and that made them nice and big (still chewy) without being too stiff. I'll certainly be making these again.

Good basic recipe, not much different from the others, but very tasty and chewy. The cinnamon adds a good kick. My kids love eating them when they come home from school.

This recipe is a keeper. They do come out flat and take a long time to bake (15-18 minutes), but they are super-tasty.

The cookies are tasty, but they took really long to cook at 325 degrees, about 20 minutes. I tried turning up the temperature to 350 degrees the second time around and the cookies baked for about 15 minutes. The texture of the cookies was better that way; still chewy but not too sticky.

These are good, but I bet would be 5 star if I had used real vanilla extract! Its so expensive right now so I bought imitation and will never do so again, it doesnt taste like anything. Anyway,about the cookies-used choc. chips instead of nuts, only 1/2 tsp salt and left out the cinnamon. Scooped 'em with my pampered chef cookie scoop, got exactly 3 doz. they took the whole 12min to cook, didnt flatten out much at all. My husband likes them so this ones a keeper.
