Basic but effective! My first time baking O.R. cookies. I read some reviews first and made the following adjustments: Added a bit more oatmeal and raisins, in addition to the oil, added 1/4 cup melted/softened butter, added a little more brown sugar, reduced temp to 350, watched baking closely...removed from oven when edges got dark brown. Tops looked as if they may not be cooked through but they were. They are great!! They're very soft and chewy, with the perfect amount of sweetness. Good job on a simple recipe!

I don't know what every one did wrong but this recipe is Awesome! The only thing that I did differently was watch the cookies closely and they baked in about 12 min. I also added some dried cherries with golden raisins (to equal the original measurement of 1 cup)to the second batch! Really soft, chewy cookies! Great!

Your basic oatmeal-raisin cookie recipe.

This tasted good, I did add half a cup of white sugar. The cookies did turn very hard very fast, next time I will get it straight in a ziploc bag after cooling a bit.

These cookies did not go over well. They taste like a regular choc. chip cookie only sub rasins. I agree they were very very bland.

wow! This is the real deal classic! yummy as is!

I made these a couple of days ago, and they turned out pretty good. The only reason I didn't mark them as 5-star was because they seemed to crisp and burn very, very easily. I wound up having to turn my oven down by at least 10 degrees and lower the cooking time by 2 minutes from the low time given in the recipe in order to not get crisp, dark brown edges. That being said, however, they all vanished quite quickly when I took them to work.

it was a good idea but turns out to be more of a muffin top cookie than the oatmeal cookies from my childhood instead of the spice it calls for i added allspice for a lil kick it was great

I liked them but the recipe was very bland. I would add another 1/2 to 1 cup of sugar and I bet it would be a 5 star.

The many times I tried this they still didn't taste anything like a real oatmeal cookie to me.

The cookies were good, not sickeningly sweet. I didn't have raisins so I used chocolate chips, and I added 1/8 tsp clove powder too. My roommates are sure to like them!

These were just barely "ok". They were quite bland and boring.

These were pretty good. Not outstanding, never stop eating, no other recipe great, but they were pretty good. But for only 100 calories and 3.5 grams of fat, they were very tasty. I used egg substitute instead of egg, and baking raisins ( more moist) and these were delicious. Beware, after just a small amount of time in the oven they look very done, but they're not. They've just turned color, but they're not burnt. Even better, these cookies slid right off the cookie sheet, and the cleanup was quite easy. Overall, good recipe. I would recommend it if you're looking for a fairly quick, easy recipe that tastes good and is pretty health-conscious.

these are great cookies, i just made them and WOW! every easy and very good. my fav oatmeal cookie so far.. the brwon sugar and cinnamon are great. next time i make them i was thinking of throwing some bananas in there .. but even with out adding anything else .. great.. my daughter and i are in love :D

Good recipe, but there was something, ingredient wise, missing.

These were kind of blegh... I think they needed more sugar, and they were sort of dry and tasted like baking soda (I did not mis-measure the baking soda by the way). I made them because I had all the ingredients on hand and was craving oatmeal cookies, but I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

this is one of the best oatmeal raisin cookies I've made. I love it, and usually I'm not a fan of oatmeal cookies.

My family and I loved this cookie. I forgot the egg, but it turned out great. These were moist soft cookies. I will make these again.

very easy and quick, absolutely wholesome with oats and oil (I used olive oil), but great taste indeed, expecially if eaten while cooling. I'll just see how it keeps.
