Love this recipe! I took the advice of others and added 2 teaspoons of vanilla and an extra 1/2 cup of oats, and subbed the shortening out for butter. I also add a cup of raisins along with the chocolate chips.

Pretty good; I added 1 tsp of vanilla and 1 tsp of water. I do agree that the 1 tsp of salt is a bit too much; the cookies were slightly salty, but not to the point where you're grossed out. It's just a bit savory at the end after you swallow. Very chewy and delicious though; 10 minutes at 350 was enough in my oven. Remember to always chill your dough; I chilled it for about 15 minutes and they spread perfectly, not too thin.

Not a true review as I have not made it as written - sorry, Purists! I did however make the changes that Elizra suggested, and they are amazing, moist cookies that taste incredible. My new go-to oatmeal chocolate chip recipe. Thank you, Sheryl (and Elizra)!

To the person who leaves out salt, baking soda needs salt or the cookies will be flat. Do not over mix or they will be flat. Shortening makes them crispy. I cut out the white sugar, added another 1/2 cup oatmeal and use 1 cup whole wheat 1/2 cup white flour. Now they are a diabetic snack.

Nice crisp cookies. Next time I'll add the cinnamon and nutmeg as recommended

Delicious cookies! I gave it a 4 because I changed a couple of things, but it's a really great recipe. I reduced the sugar and did 3/4 brown and 1/4 white; I used butter instead of shortening; I also used 1 cup flour and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour; added 1 tbsp of water; and reduced the chocolate chips to 1 cup, and it turned out perfect. In the end I also did a couple of cookies with some raisins and cinnamon and it was great. Also left a bit more in the oven so they were crispy. This recipe is definitely a keeper.

Delicious!!!! My family loved them, asked to make this same recipe again next time. I only changed the shortening, I used a Crisco butter flavored baking stick instead.
