These are my husband's favorite cookies! They have all of his favorite cookie ingredients: oats, dried fruit, spices and toffee. I added 1/2 tsp of salt, and used dried fruit bits, since that's what I had on hand. Seriously delicious! They needed 10 minutes in my convection oven. At 8 minutes they were still under-cooked, even after they sat on the hot cookie sheet for a few minutes. I've added the recipe to my family favorites! Thanks for a winner! Update: We had to pause our TV show so we could fill our craving and bake these cookies. We were out of toffee chips, so we used butterscotch. Delicious!

This has to be one of the best oatmeal raisin cookies I have ever had! My family inhaled them! After reading previous reviews, I did make the following adjustments: Instead of 1c. butter I used 1/2c. butter and 1/2c. butter flavored Crisco, 1/2t. salt, 1 1/2c. raisins, and an 8 oz. package of toffee bits. I changed quantities of a few ingredients but used the basic recipe! I will definitely make these cookies again!

These were delicious, the toffee makes these better than regular oatmeal raisins. I corasely chopped heath bars for this, and will be making them again!

Very moist, nice chewy texture, great for adding whatever mix-ins you prefer. I didn't have enough butter so I only used three quarters of a cup, kept everything else in same proportions, very flavorful. I also used what I had on hand to mix into dough - dried cranberries and Heath bar toffee bits, yum. I added a dash each of nutmeg and cloves because I like those flavors with the oatmeal. Baked at 350 for 8 minutes and let cool on pan for two to three minutes. No problems with flat cookies nor with sticking to the pan! Highly recommended.

Very, very good. Perfect texture. I used what i had left of a bag of heath toffee bits, so not a whole cup. I would like to try it with chocolate covered toffee bits next time. I don't think it really needs the raisins, but that's just personal perference.

I don't care for oatmeal raisin cookies, but my husband loves them. I tried this recipe and I LOVE IT! It's a firm favourite in our houshold now, and a hit everywhere I bring them!

A very nice cookie. Unfortunately my toffee chips were old and I did not realize it and they gave the cookies a very bad taste. I had to discard the whole bunch! So make sure to smell the toffee pieces first and don't add if they smell the least bit off! I will try this recipe again with fresh toffee pieces!
