I made these cookies for Thanksgiving and added white chocolate chips and dried cranberries. There were none left a day later! These cookies are chewy and have a lot of flavor.

Excellent recipe. I substituted pumpkin puree for the butter and added cloves and nutmeg. Cookies didn't spread much without the butter so flattening them with a fork was necessary--didn't dip the fork in sugar though. Very moist, flavorful cookie.

My local cafe makes amazing oatmeal cookies and I've been trying to duplicate them with different recipes. My search is over, this recipe makes those exact same cookies! They are perfect, soft and chewy and full of flavor. The only thing I changed was I only used 3/4 cups of each sugar instead of a whole cup, and they were still sweet enough. I also added chopped walnuts and craisins and blackcurrants. Oh, these are fantastic!

This recipe is pretty good, but the cookies aren't as moist as I had hoped. I didn't roll them into balls, but used my cookie scooper and they came out a nice shape. These took the full 10 min in my oven. I added raisins to half of the batter and I much prefer the ones w/raisins to the ones w/o. I will make this again, but will add raisins to the whole batch.

delish... I agree that the balling and pressing is unnecessary. I just used a spoon and plopped them and they turned out great. I will make again!

These cookies did turn out soft. I even added about 1 1/2 tsp of honey. An over all excellant cookie.

These cookies are very good. I followed what others said about not pressing w/sugar fork. I used a cup of dried bluweberries and instead of butter I used I can't beleive it is not butter and instead of white sugar I used Splenda. My son is allergic to eggs so I used 1 tsp dry yeast to 1/4 cup warm water per egg. Even with these few changes the cookies are very moist, chewy and YUMMY! Many Thanks for sharing!!!!

I made this recipe for my boyfriend's work and his boss said, "If you break up with her, I will fire you!" They were just that good! I followed the recipe, except I omitted the cinnamon and added chocolate chips. Also, I didn't do the fork covered in sugar step (in my opinion, these were sweet enough with the choc chips). I also baked them for a solid 10 minutes. They came out AWESOME! And they still taste great a few days later! Thanks for the great recipe!

So good! I added about 1 1/3 cups of chocolate chips and a splash (about 1/2 tsp) of almond extract along with the vanilla. Following what other reviewers stated, I didn't press the cookies flat. They the third pan is just coming out of the oven and omg! I can't stop eating them!! So good!!

I made them just as the recipe indicated. I split the dough and added raisins to part and chocolate chip chunks and walnuts to the rest. They are both amazingly good. I rolled into balls and did not flatten, I like thick gooey cookies and that is exactly what I got. VERY GOOD, they will not last more than a day or two in my house.

WOW! This is fantastic! We halved the recipe to make a dozen and added: 1/2 super-mashed/pureed banana. Talk about amazing! We also tried variations with banana, raisin, and chocolate chip = YUMTASTIC! And, banana, chocolate chip, walnut = YUMMIERTASTIC! I agree with previous reviewers - no need to dip fork in sugar or even to roll them into balls. We just spooned it.

My cookies came out completely flat. I did not flatten them with a fork and was expecting thick, soft cookies. The flavor was good though.. just wish they weren't flat as a pancake.

these are amazing cookies. Because I like raisins in my oatmeal cookies I added them but, they would be fantastic without the raisins too. Best I've had.

These cookies are great, but I'm not sure they are 5 star great. I made them exactly like the recipe. I also did what other reviewers had said and divided up the dough. In some I put walnuts and chocolate chips; in another I put nuts and dried cherries, and I didn't add anything to the last group. The cookies with something added had some thickness to them, but the ones with nothing added were very flat. All the cookies were good. I'm not sure why some of us had flat cookies. I refrigerated the dough as specified. Maybe we need a bit more flour?
