Great! I added a 3rd cup of oatmeal, as well as a generous handful of raisins and of nuts. And instead of chocolate chips I put in three 200g dark chocolate bars, chopped into chunks. Oh, and 2 tsps of vanilla too. Got so many compliments on these!

I loved these! I did add vanilla and I used 1/2 butter and 1/2 shortening for texture. My parents were visiting and raved about them!

3/4 c unsalted butter, 1/4 c applesauce, 1/2 c packed brown sugar, 1/2 c white sugar, 2 eggs, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 1/2 c whole wheat flour, 1 tsp sea salt, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp cinnamon, 2 1/2 c rolled oats, 1 c chocolate chips, 1/2 c walnuts (chopped). Combined in the usual order, baked at 350 for 12 minutes, tasty! (: I used applesauce in place of some of the butter to cut down on fat and cholesterol; it also tends to make them a bit fluffier, and since it's sweet I don't need to use as much sugar.

I recently had to unexpectedly teach a high school pastry class and decided to bake these without ever doing it on my own first. The kids were at first really reluctant to try their own creation based on the fact that they contained a "healthy" ingredient. After they got past the fact that there was oats in them they gobbled them up! They are awesome and I will forever now use this recipe in place of my standard Toll House one. The only adjustment that I might try in the future is to use 1/2 shortening and 1/2 butter. Love it!

These cookies are great. I didn't have brown sugar so I just used white, and I also used whole wheat flour and added a tsp of vanilla. So Good. My husband loves them.

really good....I did have to add an extra 1/2 cup of flour. The first batch I made was too thin and "lacey". After that I added the other 1/2c flour which made a more substantial cookie....very tasty. My hubby actually preferred the less flour, "lacey" batch which were kinda chewier and more "see-through" in look. All in all a yummy cookie...thanks!

Love these, cut the shorting to 1/2 cup and replaced with 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, added 1tsp vanilla and 1/2 c chopped walnuts. Excellent cookies!
