Excellent - I'm eating them as I type! I may try less sugar next time for more of a chewy granola bar taste. I like that they're hearty and not cake-like.

We love love love this recipe! Everytime I make them I forget to add the water, but it makes no difference, and also the only thing I do different is we add about 3/4c dark chocolate chips, and I make them smaller, so that we get about 85 or so bite size cookies...5 out of 5 all the way!

This are very good and full of oats! I did add 1 cup chocolate chips for sweetness. I did use more dough per cookie than what they reccommended, so it didn't make as many cookies.

I made a lot of modifications to make these healthier: used 1/4 c butter, 1/2 c apple sauce, half the called for sugar, ommitted the water, used 2 eggs, added 3 T flax meal, cinnamon and raisins. I used a 3/8 oz scoop(Tablespoon sized) to measure out the dough and got 80 cookies. Mine did not spread at all so had to press them down before baking, and there was no problem with them sticking to the pan - it probably doesn't need to be greased. My cookies turned out to be ugly little health balls, but they are SO DELICIOUS!

Very, very good! I added an extra egg in place of the water, and they turned out chewy in the middle and crispy on the edges. We threw in some raisins, and could have cut the sugar a bit, since they added sweetness of their own. The dough was so good, I didn't think I'd have any cookies to review, but the finished product was even better!

Thank you all for your great feedback, especially the 3 who said that the recipe did not make nearly the number of cookies as listed. Since the nutrients are not truly accurate, I will not be using this recipe unless I can figure out how to reduce the protein. I am on a restricted protein diet and need close to accurate nutrient content. I urge those submitting a recipe to not over estimate the yield. Again, thank you all for the great tips !!

On our low-fat, low-sugar diet, these cookies are a life saver! Sooo good. Chewy, not too sweet. We make recipe as written, just add chocolate chips.

Wow! Very good cookies! I used 1 stick of butter (1/2 cup) and 1/4 cup of applesauce. I also added 1 TBL of cinnamon to the dry ingredients. Then I divided the dough into three parts and made one part with any add-in's, one part with Craisins and one part with Reese's Pieces. All three were delicious!

Since my husband's bypass surgery I am looking for healthy ways for his favorites and love this, although I substituted lowfat margarine for the butter (ouch!) and 1/2 c. brown sugar and 1 cup Splenda - I used the 1/4 cup water to warm up and soak a few raisins. They are very good, though I am sure the original is wonderful, forgive my messing around with your recipe, but thanks for posting it.Diane77346

Perfect!! This is a great recipe, the only way I am making cookies from now on! My entire family LOVED them. I used chocolate chips with this recipe. Next time I am going to try dried cranberries. I'm passing this recipe on to friends and family! Thanks for the great recipe!

I followed this recipe exactly and they are the best I have ever had. I made giant dough balls for very big cookies. Don't over bake. In the future i may try to play with the amount of sugar and try using applesauce instead of butter just to make it even more healthy. But if that does not work I'll be using it as is. Thanks for a great cookie!

I took the advice of other reviewers and cut back sugar. Wish I would have also cut back water because after a day of being in a container, these became very soggy. I agree with the others who said there are better oatmeal cookie recipes and I too do not understand how you get 60 cookies from this recipe.

These cookies were wonderful. I did take the advice of another viewer and instead of using all butter, I used half applesauce. I also cut back on the brown sugar, I think they would have been too sweet, so I used 1/2 of brown sugar and 1/2 raw sugar. I added raisins and they were great. My family loved these, and you can't even tell that they are made with whole wheat flour. Definitely a keeper!

I made some changes to the recipe. I used applesauce instead of margarine. I also used 3/4 c splenda and 3/4 c brown sugar. Finally I added raisins. This recipe is very oat-y in texture. I think next time I will cut back on the oats and add more flour. Also, using a cookie scoop I got 42 cookies from this recipe and they are not big at all...not sure how you would get 60.
