The best oatmeal cookies ever!

I'd have to say this recipie almost has it. I was looking at the picture trying to figure out why the edges had gone flush with the pan and burned, so I tried this recipie. Turns out the dough is too sticky. I had to add another half cup of oats. Oatmeal cookies should be sticky, but should not 'melt' in the oven. I also added baking powder for a fluffier oatmeal cookie, and substituted walnuts for raisons. I also cut the white sugar in half and added brown sugar, as is customary in oatmeal cookies. I think the original recipie functions more like 'drop' cookies.

fantastic, at school my friends fought over crumbs and begged for the recipe but i prefer it without raisins! To avoid it getting it too cakey use more oats and less flour or whole oats instead of quick cooking oats.

very yummy, quite fluffy and more 'cakey' than 'biscuity', i added an extra teaspoon of vanilla, and 1/2 teaspoon extra cinammon and they are delicious! and so easy to make

sasa brought them in to school today they are the lushest things eva!!! especialy since Sasa made she is a great cook you have got to try these they are sooooooo nice but just make sure you dont over cook them otherwise you will bake all the moisture out!

It was easy to make but I ended up adding more sure after the first batch came out of the oven.

I loved this recipe. I don't like raisins but this recipe smelled so good during prep that I had to try the finished product and it turned out wonderfully! MMMMM!!!

Very nice basic recipe, though I jazzed it up a little. I left out the rasins, and instead added slivered almonds. I also added a very healthy glug of both almond extract and vanilla. I used more nutmeg and cinnamon then called for too. Didn't actually measure, just sprinkled till it looked right. :)

These went very fast at our 4th of July BBQ!

These were a bit cakey but as they are the first oatmeal cookies I have ever baked, I thought them quite tasty. My husband hates raisins, so I added a cup of flaked coconut instead. I think I'll hold onto this recipe!

good and basic, great recipe to jump off from. i added more oats and cranberries. yummy.

Good basic recipe. Very easy.

This is a good recipe. I enjoy adding my grandmother's secret ingredient: one ripe, mashed banana! It's still cake like but with a new twist. We love it this way.

This recipe has gotten me very far at my job! I am a secretary at a large University and every time my computer needs an upgrade, I make a batch of these. The I.T. guys cannot resist them and are very quick to help me with any problem! (^_^) My hubby and I like them, too!

These were really good cookies. I halved the recipe and accidentally added the full amount of vanilla and probably added extra egg to the dough, but they still came out very good.

its okay, didn't turn out like I had hoped though!

Loved these cookies. I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out soft and delicate. If you like a cake-like texture you'll love these too.
