In my opinion, these are better than traditional oatmeal raisin cookies. This is a good option for someone who prefers chocolate over raisins (because after all, raisins are just wanna-be chocolate chips), or someone who likes a hearty, not too sweet cookie. I used olive oil, almonds, and regular oatmeal. Stirring the dough took a little elbow grease -- at the end I had more success with a wooden spoon than the electronic beaters. I did end up adding a splash of milk to make it easier to work with. This dough does NOT keep well, so bake right away. The cookies do not spread out very much, so you can load the pan pretty closely.

These are fabulous! I've made other "healthy whole wheat" cookies before and they were just chewy and dry. (Ick!) But these were so good! They make the perfect breakfast cookie, I used dark chocolate chips instead of regular, and added just a wee bit of canola oil when I was mixing the batter to help it stick together. The crunch from the grape nuts is the best! :)

Dough was extremely stiff, rather hard to work with. The cookies were OK, but I'll stick with my favorite recipe next time.

This is our new favorite cookie recipe! The texture of the grape nuts really makes it what it is. We made them even healthier by using 1/2 the butter and replacing the other half with applesauce. I also like to double the recipe and make a few batches and then freeze some of the dough for later use.

These Cookies are the best cookies I have ever had! I love that they have whole wheat flour but what really makes these the best is the nugget cereal (grapenuts)! It's SO GOOD!! You really should try it!

delicious! I love the grape nuts crunch. I dont know why there is half regular and half wheat flour. Maybe I can just add grape nuts to my usual oatmeal cookie recipe? Either way, these are good.

Delicious! Instead of the nugget cereal, I added raisins. Instead of the sugar, I added 1/2 cup Splenda. Simply wonderful and easy to make.

Sorry everybody. I agree with Phil--they were dry and crumbly and I added an extra egg, too, which stiffened the dough and I was hoping for the best. From now on, I'll go with the recipe that's on the Quaker Oats box. They're the best that I've had so far.

These were excellent. I did, however change a few things. I used 3/4 cup sucanat in leau of all sugars. I used spelt flour in leau of all flours. I also used Wheat germ instead of "wheat and Barley". They endd up tasting very good!

Really tasty with a tall glass of milk! I added some almond extract, a little nutmeg, and some cinnamon. I used almonds instead of walnuts. I didn't have the grapenuts, so I just left that part out. I love the combination of white and whole wheat flour. Makes for a great texture! :)

Really liked these, great texture and flavor! My son said he could eat the all the dough up before I made them. It's just that good!

These are really good. In an effort to keep my husband away from some of the really gross snack foods (Little Debbies, Hostess Twinkies...) I have been making more things from scratch and these will be a staple at our house. Normally I take great pains to follow a recipe to the letter the first time but I was out of chocolate chips and used Reeses Peanut Butter Chips instead and was very pleased with the result. Thanks for a great recipe. Additional Note! I made these again a couple of weeks later and (still) didn't have any chocolate chips and put in a heaping 1/2 cup of toffee chips. Wonderful.....
