This recipe was the best oatmeal cookie I have ever made! I used the food processor for the 1st part! I used cranberies, a few chocolate chips & a little coconut! Yum! The batter was easy to scoop by the teaspoon !

Best oatmeal cookies ever! Used a dried berry mix sample from nutsonline.com that had strawberries, blacberries & blueberries. Added dried apples, dates and raisins to complete the 1 cup called for. Added dry ingredients very slowly & mixed thoroughly. The dough was perfect!! This one will become a new favorite.

This is a lovely easy recipe. I used a dried fruit and nut mixture that I had in the pantry and it turned out really well. The mixture was a little dry - it couldn't be "dropped" onto the tray, it had to be rolled into little balls by hand. The finished cookies were tasty, although perhaps I should have flattened them out a little before baking. See the picture above to see what I mean. I recommend these cookies as I think they would be deliciious with other additions as already mentioned in other reviews, such as chocolate chips.

I absolutely loved this recipe!!! I substituted the cup of dried cranberries with dried blueberries and mixed fruit and added a quarter cup of sour cream. This is one of the best cookies I have ever eaten, and my whole family agrees!!! Thanks!

This is the best oatmeal cookie I've ever eaten - no contest! I used a dried berry mix (cherries, blueberries & raspberries) for the fruit, and was generous with the spices. Otherwise, exact quantities. I did not find the batter dry at all - I used a Kenmore stand mixer and was careful to add everything in slowly and mixed extensively. The butter was softened too, which may be the key. These cookies, fresh out of the oven, are unbelievably good - just the right amount of salt, chewy but not gluey, melt in your mouth. The only real change was that mine had to bake for an extra 5 minutes or so (15 total), but keep a close eye - these would not be nice over-done!

I didnt find them dry at all. Very stick when rolling out, but led to a very moist tastey cookie. Will make again.

I found it too be a bit salt heavy and not very sweet. I used apricots. They are not too bad though. I promise we will eat them all!

Added cranberries & walnuts and just realized that I forgot the vanilla! Still! they were great! Don't listen to the dry reviews below, don't know what they'er talking about! Will absoulutly be making these again!!
