A really yummy oatmeal cookie. I added dried cranberries and white chocolate chips like an earlier reviewer suggested and they were a big hit.

These cookies are amazing!! I used 1/2 cup shortening + 1/4 cup butter, and 1/2 tbsp cinnamon, and they turned out wonderfully. Like others, mine were a little flat, but they're so delicious I don't care. And they smell fantastic! A truly perfect cookie.

Really good and easy. I needed a quick cookie for a carry in and these were wonderful. I used 1 stick of unsalted butter instead of shortening and I had no problems. The first batch was flat, so I just doubled the scoop size and added 1 minute to the oven timer. I got thicker cookies that were not burnt or too gooey. Thanks for a great go to cookie!

I made these later at night so I made them into bars to save time and they still came out great. I used a little less cinnamon as I prefer oatmeal cookies not to be too "spicey". These cookies are great, they have a really nice to chew to them. Thanks!

Best oatmeal cookie ever! I tried making them with butter instead of shortening and they didn't come out good, shortening is definitely a key in this recipe. Crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside

This was good although I wouldn't use the shortening again. And I tried it with less sugar and it tasted great!

AWESOME!!! I have been searching for an oatmeal cookie recipe, and this is it! I did take some of the other review ideas...used 3/4 cup of butter instead of shortening, added 1 1/2 cups Hershey's chocolate chips, an 8oz bag of cranberries and cut the cinnamon down to 1/2 tsp. I also baked them for about 10 mins then used a spatula to slightly pat them down, then continued to bake them for the remaining 3 mins. DO NOT over cook these! The tops of the cookies will look underdone but will continue to cook while cooling. These are the best oatmeal cookies I have ever made! Soft and chewy on the inside and crisp on the outside. Just the way we like them, but could never seem to get them. Thanks for the addition to the recipe book, this ones a keeper!

These are fantastic! The only thing I changed was to use butter-flavored shortening instead of regular, because that's what I had, and I added a bag of cinnamon chips. I made 2 dozen BIG cookies, they're soft and chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside, YUM! A really great cookie. BTW, in response to one review, this is most definitely NOT the Quaker Oatmeal Cookie recipe, it's completely different.

ok.. I am sorry to have to do this, but this was not to our taste! I was a little worried when I saw that you only used 1c. of flour. All I can say is ACK! These cookies stuck to the pan, even with greasing, were flat and had very little taste.. I actually threw out the rest of the dough! Welp, I guess I should just stick with what I know

Great recipe, I added craisins, halfed the cinnamon and used WW flour. My kids LOVED them! You really do need to let them cool on the tray or they will fall apart. I would let them cool for at leat 10 minutes.

AWESOME! I read a couple reviews and made one sheet chewy and one sheet crunchy. Both are amazing! I mixed up the spices a bit though... 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ginger, and 1/4 tsp allspice. I also added 1/2 cup flame raisins, 1/2 cup golden raisins, and 1/2 cup pecans. AMAZING!

These have potential but are too crispy- they came out nice from the oven and then cooled and became hard. I baked my second batch a shorter amount of time, but they still were too crispy.

yum!!! i was afraid it wouldn't make enough, but i added about a cup more oats, a cup of chocolate chunks and half a cup of raisins, and they're great! Oddly enough, I was also out of cinnamon and almost out of vanilla, so i used 4 tsps of pumpkin pie spice, the little vanilla extract i had (1/4 tsp) and about a tsp of almond extract. I decreased the salt too, to 1/2 tsp, but now i think that probably wasn't necessary.
