This is a delicious cookie! I made this cookie last weekend. I enjoy trying a new cookie each time that I bake along with an old stand-by. I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out with the shortening instead of butter, but it works. The shortening and sugar do not really "cream" together. They blend into a grainy mixture. I mixed the rest of the ingredients with ease. These cookies came out of the 350* oven soft as described in the recipe. I left them on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack. Make sure to let them rest for a little because they will fall apart otherwise. Wow! These cookies are so chewy and have so many textures. A few people thought that they had toffee in them. They loved the name too! My boyfriend is a big Chocolate Chip fan, but found these to be delicious. My co-workers enjoyed these immensely. A few people sought me out for more! I will make these again!

This cookie recipe is my favourite one on this website. I have made it for every picnic and party this summer and everyone just raves about them. A number of people have said that they are the best cookies they ever tasted! A word of caution, the orginal recipe makes a lot of cookies, but don't worry, they won't last long! You'll love them!

Fabulous cookies.

These cookies are fantastic! I altered the recipe slightly: I took advice from other reviews and reduced both sugars to 3/4 cup each, I used 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup butter flavored shortening, I used old fashioned oats instead of quick oats, and I had to add 1 cup of milk chocolate chips to help with my chocolate addiction. They turned out perfectly! Great recipe.

these were nothing special. they are not very chewy ( i did not over-bake and am storing in airtight container). Also they are way too sweet in my opinion. If you are looking for a coconut cookie then the "chewy coconut cookie" recipe on this site is better and if it's oatmeal cookies you are after there are tonnes of good recipes to use. I won't be making these again.

These are yummy cookies! I used margarine instead of shortening, and regular oats instead of quick cooking. Also, I didn't have parchment paper, but I wish I did because they are very hard to remove. I tried grease and aluminum foil, but they both worked only so-so. I also omitted the nuts for my husband's sake, and they were yummy. May try adding raisins next time. Very sweet, flat, chewy cookie. Enjoy!
