Great recipe, a total of 1 cup of sugar (1/2 cup white and 1/2 cup brown) is more than enough for sweetness. It can be even further reduced, to a total of 3/4 cups of sugar. I added some chopped dried apricots and chopped toasted walnuts. Great cookie, chewy, soft, filling. Baking time 10 min.

So easy and delicious. I had all the ingredients on hand (that never happens for me). My 3-year-old loved helping -- her favorite part was rolling them into balls. We didn't flatten them and they took a little longer to bake (about 14 minutes), but they came out delicious. We also added raisins.

These are the BEST cookies and are probably my favorite, even over the classic, Chocolate Chip! I modify the recipe by adding only 1/2 cup of Sugar as I find that to be plenty. I don't do the "fork thing", either. I let them chill while I'm cleaning up the dishes, so only about 20 minutes, and that works just fine to make them a little firmer. I roll them into balls using my hands, and they bake into thick, soft, moist cookies. My biggest piece of advice is to really watch them and DON'T let them overcook - I often let them undercook a bit - or they won't be moist. Great recipe!!

I made these for home and work, and they were an absolute hit! I got multiple requests for this recipe - it has this many reviews for a reason! I omitted the cinnamon by accident the first time I made them (I'm not a big cinnamon fan, so maybe I subconsciously left it out on purpose?) and thought they tasted delicious, so I always make them without cinnamon. I also add chocolate chips every time. For a less messy and quicker option, I use a cookie scoop so I skip the flattening with fork+sugar step. The cookies turn out beautifully every time!

These cookies were wonderfull! I will be making these again and again. The first batch were alittle flat, chewy and too sweet, so I added 1/4 cup of flour and they came out perfect! It gave them volume and fixed the chewy texture. I just spoon dropped the onto the sheet, they were already sweet enough without the sugar.

Great! If your family is like mine and can't decide between chocolate chip and regular oatmeal cookies, bake the first half of the batch regular and add 1 cup of chocolate chips half way through. This recipe also makes a small batch, I double or triple depending on how many I need.

These were soft and delicious! Just made some little changes: I used only 1 cup of brown sugar(omitted the white sugar) and replaced the eggs with 1 pureed banana.

Wonderful recipe! I made this twice in one week! That is now good this recipe is. During the first time I only used 1 tsp of cinnamon because I only had that much around. The second time around I had forgotten to buy some more cinnamon, so I made it without the cinnamon. I didn't pack the brown sugar and skipped the fork dipped in sugar at the end. I used a cookie scooper and ended up with 2 inch cookies. I baked them for about 9 minutes. They tasted and turned out great both times. Very chewy! I couldn't stop eating them, and I even had a few for breakfast with my coffee. I got plenty of compliments on these cookies as well!
