I usually do the recipe on top of the oatmeal box. This one is much better.

My husband who doesn't like oatmeal raisin cookies even likes these. Soaking the raisins really makes a big difference. Easy and great recipe.

Wonderful cookies, will make again, and again. My cookies were not flat, but I used butter at room temp, and substituted the 1 c white sugar for 1/2 c agave syrup (which is sweeter than sugar and healthier) and I made an adjustment using 1 tsp baking soda and 1 tsp baking powder. I also always add my secret ingred.-nutmeg. 1/4 tsp. I also did not have dark raisins and substituted 1/2 c golden raisins with 1/2 c dried cranberries and added 1/2 c dark choc chips. Family always love this recipe and occasionally I will add 1/2 c applesauce for added moisture in the summer.

I modified this recipe A LOT, but the modified version turned out great, so I'm sure the original would, too. Here are the changes that I made: - Substituted 1C peanut butter for the butter (yummm) - Substituted 1/2C honey for the white sugar - Used 2 1/2C whole wheat pastry flour instead of the all-purpose - Subbed 1/2C dark chocolate chips for the pecans Because of all of these changes, I had to end up making a pan full of cookie bars instead of individual round cookies. I baked them for about 15 minutes in a 9x13" metal pan. They are DELICIOUS, although a tad on the crumbly side, and I suppose a tiny bit healthier than the original recipe. Definitely calorie dense! One thing that I won't do again is use both cinnamon and chocolate chips. I regretted doing so the minute I realized it. Cinnamon and chocolate are kind of icky together, so if you're going to use chocolate instead of nuts, omit the cinnamon. :)

What a great soft cookie! I used quick oats and substituted 1 cup of flour for whole wheat flour and they turned out great! I didn't use the pecans and thought the cookies were a little sweet for my taste. Next time I will try using a little less sugar and adding an extra cup of raisins. I also followed other reviewers suggestions of using 4 large eggs and mixing the dough by hand when adding the oats. For the other mixing steps I used my hand mixer and it went well. I baked them using parchment paper and let the cookies cool a little before removing to avoid breaking them. By dropping the dough in teaspoonfuls, this recipe yielded almost double the 36 servings indicated!

YUM! I loved these! I followed a few suggestions, 4 eggs instead of 3, 1tsp baking soda and baking powder rather than just 2 of the soda, 2 tsp cinnamon and 1 tsp all spice. I put them right on the baking sheet, no parchment paper or anything. A little flat? Yeah a little, but it's an oatmeal raisin cookie, I didn't want a cake like cookie anyways, they were delish!

Very nice texture and flavour. Cut the sugar back to 1/2 cup white and brown sugar(don't like overly sweet cookies) Omitted the pecans(nut alergy) Otherwise kids loved them.
