These are quite possibly the best cookies I've ever made. They are delicious right out of the oven. A little bit crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. Like some reviewers, I added 1 T. vanilla, plus I used Crisco instead of butter. I baked heaping tablespoonfuls of cookie dough for 9 minutes and they are perfect. Will definitely make these again.

as per some of the reviews, i added orange flv. 1/2tsp ... and it made the batter super yummy. Definately tastes great with the cranberries. I also used a cranberry trail mix with an assortment of nuts (minus the cashews) and they turned out FABULOUS !! my boyfriend REALLY enjoyed them! Mind you he eats anything. Definately a keeper of a recipe. ONLY downside is that the batter gets quite heavy with the oats and flower added, makes hard to stir in the chocolate and berries/nuts! :)

tasty cookie...i found them to have too much butter..and mine came out cake-like, rather than the dense, oaty texture I was looking for...I will make some revisions and try again c:

Made AS IS. Received a lot of compliments and are great holiday cookies. It is NOT a crispy cookie but more of a chewy one, especially when shaped into little balls. Definitely making it again. And again!

I used 1/2 tsp of almond extract, 3/4 c craisins, 1/2 cup choc chip, 1/2 c white choc chips and 1/2 c walnuts. What made this cookie great was the zest of 1/2 an orange!!!

Surprisingly, I did not love these. They are a little dry. I followed the recipe to the "t" and did not overcook them... :-(

Too cake like, I prefer a little more crispy. The combo of white chocolate and crasins was really good though

Used fresh cranberries, 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 2 tsp. vanilla, and 1 tsp. orange extract. I made half the batch with just the white chocolate chunks and the other half adding 1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chunks. Everyone who tasted them loved the ones with the dark chocolate in them the best. Not very sweet...like a healthy bowl of oatmeal made into a cookie. Would have no qualms eating these for breakfast. Will use dried cranberries next time and instead of the orange, I'll use cinnamon and instead of white chocolate, I'll use the dark chocolate again.
