The flavor of these cookies is incredibly good, but they turned out chewy for me, not crispy. March 12, 2009 edit - I had to come back and tell all why my cookies turned out chewy. It was my sweetener. Since I'm type 2 diabetic and fructose doesn't raise my blood sugar, I use it. And it's the reason the cookies were chewy. I made some with regular granulated sugar and they turned out VERY crispy and very tasty. My husband loves them!

This cookie is good and crisp. I added a little more cinnamon and nutmeg. I chilled them before baking and to soften the oatmeal. My husband liked them and he is "Mr. Picky." I don't particularly like baking cookies so I used an ice cream scoop to make big cookies which took 15 minutes to bake.

This recipe is great, especially for around the holidays. I used a half cup of butter and a half cup of shortening, and original oatmeal instead of the instant kind. I also added more spices, like pumpkin pie spice, a little ginger, a lot more cinnamon (probably close to 1 1/2 tsp.), and of course the nutmeg. I also sprinkled baker's sugar on the top to dress them up. Definitely give this one a try!
