What happened?! My cookies turned out as FLAT as a pancake. No, wait...they were FLATTER than a pancake! =) Although they were flat, my husband liked the taste of them. I didn't chill the dough (because I read so many reviews that stated it wasn't necessary), and maybe that's why my cookies were so flat. If I make these cookies again, I'll chill the dough to see if it makes a difference. I divided my cookies into 3 batches--the first batch had chocolate chips; the second batch had cranberries; the third batch had raisins. My husband and I liked the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies the best!

These cookies came out great-I made half with raisins and the other half with choc chunks. I did notice the second batch came out thicker(which I prefer) and I think it was because the dough was in the fridge longer.

I was looking for the Quaker Oatmeal Cookie recipe that you usually find on the inside lid of the container. I bought store brand oats though, so I checked here for something comparable. I think this recipe is almost identical and it was exactly what I wanted. The only thing I changed was I added a cup of chocolate chips. I didn't chill the dough or flatten it with a fork and they turned out great. Thanks for posting this recipe.

Excellent! I split the dough in a half and put semi sweet chips in half..and keep the other half plain. I slightly pushed the dough ball down, slightly! I did not add sugar to it either. SOOO good.. gone in two days! Soft chewy Delicious.

This was very delicious! I brought it to school and share with my friends and they all loved it! I just followed the recipe as is without the changes some people suggested and it turned out very well. This oatmeal cookie is soft, but not very moist and it'll last about three days before becoming very hard. Also, the cinnamon added is wonderful, it doesn't overpower, but rather come subtle to the taste buds, the first time I bit into one my eyes widened in delight!

Excellent cookie! I double the vanilla and use pure mexican vanilla, because my husband loves a rich vanilla taste. I also add a quarter bag of white chocolate chips or of andes mint pieces. For softer cookies, don't flatten them - they will spread out into perfect rounds on their own, retaining a moist, chewy center.

These cookies are DELICIOUS!! These were my first (successful) batch of cookies and they made me feel like "WOW! I CAN MAKE SOMETHING THIS YUMMY!" I added walnuts to the recipe and I can't stop eating these cookies. So soft and chewy!

As far as the taste goes, you can't go wrong. They are wonderful! However, my cookies were not soft. Even if they looked soft and puffed up when I took them out of the oven, they immediately fell into flat, crunchy cookies. I didn't flatten them pre-oven as some have suggested. Someone advised me to use half softened butter, half butter flavored Crisco to give the cookies a softer, fluffier look.

My whole family loves these cookies. I added a cup of re-hydrated golden raisins as well as just a pinch more cinnamon. They are easy, fun to bake with the children and get wonderful reviews no matter where we take them! Thanks for sharing a great recipe!

I have made oatmeal cookies in the past and they were just so so or hard but this one was the best I have ever made. My husband who is always critical actually loved these and thought they were nice and moist. This is officially my oatmeal cookie recipe! I will however use a little less sugar otherwise everything else is ok.

These area fantastic!!! I ended up chilling my dough for 24 hours (no time to bake the day I mixed them up). The day I was ready to bake them, I took the dough out of the fridge just before leaving for a 90-minute walk; I baked them as soon as I returned and they were perfection. I did need to flatten them down just a bit, and they still baked up very nicely. I got 52 cookies out of this recipe, though I also added 1 package of Ghirardelli Bittersweet Chocolate Chips and 1 cup of raisins. Thanks for posting this recipe, BITTERSWEET1; it makes the ultimate oatmeal cookie!

I liked this recipe a lot ,and will use again , however will cut the sugar by 1/4. I will also try with WW flour and Splenda as suggested. Also, I drop cookies on sheet, they spread nicely as they cook.
