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.
