These were really good. And its a forgiving recipe. I decided to double this without checking my ingredients, bad idea. Went to add in my oats and I only had 4 1/2 cups of oats. Oops. So I added 1 1/2 cups of coconut :) Worked great. These cookies aren't overly sweet which is not a bad thing. Left out the nutmeg and cinnamon because I forgot them. :O This is what happens when you talk on the phone and try to bake at the same time. Great recipe and the family loves them. Thanks!

Wow these were really good! They bake up really nice and stay soft on the inside after cooling. All I ever use is whole wheat flour so I loved this recipe. Using the whole wheat makes you fill up much faster!

These are delicious! Several reviews said they omitted the white sugar so I was worried they might be too sweet, so I cut it back to about 1/4 cup and I think that was a perfect amount. Not too sweet, not too boring. I like raisins but my husband doesn't so it was nice to find a recipe that didn't have them in there. I also used parchment paper on my cookie sheet so they wouldn't stick.

This recipe is ok. I did not put white sugar, like the other review I put 1/2 cup of raisins instead and use 3/4 cup of b. sugar but it is still sweet.

This is not a healthy recipe but is definitely easy to turn it into one. I use raisins instead of all that chocolate and it is still delicious. Also there is no need for white sugar, might as well stick only to brown since it is much healthier. Also, with the sweetness of raisins there is really no need for so much sugar. So with a simple switch to raisins and a decrease of all that sugar down to just one cup of brown sugar, you still have (guaranteed delicious and still very sweet) cookies that you can snack on with relatively no guilt! If you really care about your health or really enjoy a frequent snack I would also change white flour to whole grain flour. Taste stays the same while guilt is relatively GONE!

Healthy maybe not! Tasty yes!. We added pecans as suggested in one of the other reviews. Nice touch. Easy to make this hearty cookie.

I like the cookies alot! The only thing is that my family wanted me to make the next batch with less cinnamon in them. So, I only put half cinnamon and increased the nutmeg to 1/4 tsp instead. they were really good that way.
