The best oatmeal cookies I have ever had! My husband thought there should be more raisins in them. I used parchment paper and it was fast and easy. Great recipe!

I subbed cranberries for the raisins and ommitted the walnuts...Used dark brown sugar and doubled the cinnamon... These are the most amazing cookies ever.

I have tried so many oatmeal cookies recipes and this one is the BEST by far! I substituted unsalted butter for the shortening (I didn't have any on hand) and I also used semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of raisins. These cookies were downright addicting!!!!

Awesome cookies. I was looking for a recipe that only called for 2 cups oats and picked this one. I left out the raisins because my boys don't like them. I added the eggs into the creamed butter and sugar then followed the recipe. I added 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips. Super super yummy. Thanks for a keeper.

Best oatmeal cookies ever! I think the secret is step 1 (makes the raisins nice and plump!) so don't skip it.

Positively the BEST! My family gobbled them up as fast as I could make them. I used unsalted butter instead of shortening and had to omit the walnuts due to an allergy but all else was the same. Just fantastic, even without the nuts! My husband is not a fan of sweets and could not keep his hands out of the cookie jar :)

We loved these!! I followed the recipe nearly exactly as written. I didn't have quick cooking oats, only old fashioned, so I used those and they turned out just fine. I also didn't have raisins, but did have dried plums (prunes) so I chopped up about 3/4 cup of those in place of raisins and you couldn't even tell the difference. I didn't use any nuts in the recipe. Just personal preference. I also rolled these in balls and dipped the balls in cinnamon/sugar before baking. I baked just until set. They seemed as if they weren't done after first coming out of the oven, but once cooled they were perfectly soft and chewy. I will never use another recipe again. LOVED it!!

WOW! These are the BEST oatmeal cookies! Many who said they didnt like oatmeal cookies loved these. I used 1/2 salted butter and 1/2 regular shortning- I (didnt have butter flavored shortning)-I did roll in the cinnamon/sugar mixture. I can't say enough about these. Easy & Delicious! Thanks for this wonderful recipe.
