These are without a doubt the BEST oatmeal cookies I have ever made. I made 1 batch and they were gone in a day so I had to make more. Everyone raved about them. Definitely a keeper for the recipe box.

I followed the recipe except for the freezing and sugar fork part and they were delicious! I baked for about 9 minutes to keep them soft. This was the 2nd recipe I found and I wish it was the first- ran out of oatmeal and halfed it all- came out fine!

Wow, super yummy and thank you for this recipe! So easy, I did not chill the dough nor did I use the sugar/fork thing, I just did drop cookies on parchment, they are soft and fabulous and disappearing quickly, must go.....!

Oh Wow! These are so great! I can't wait to take them to work tomorrow-the guys are going to Love them. I bought new pans today (the baking pans from Sam's Club) & used my new silicone liners that I got @ CostCo yesterday-clean-up was so easy. I mixed them in the stand mixer-next time I will use the bigger bowl so I can add in more stuff. I used both vanilla & almond flavoring, added in raisins that I plumped in the microwave & mixed in a few chocolate chips. I wanted to add some chopped nuts, but the bowl was full. I dropped the cookies using the 2 spoon method, no chilling & they baked in about 10 minutes. Flavor & testure is great & I will freeze some so my hubby will get a few, since he is out of town right now.

AWESOME!!!! AWESOME!!!! AWESOME!!!! I would give this recipe 10 stars if I could. Oatmeal raisen cookies are my very favorite and I will forever use this recipe. I loved how the dough rolled so easily after chilling it. I added 1 cup of raisens and 1/2 cup of pecans. I used Pam lightly on the cookie sheets and after baking I let them cool for 5 minutes and the cookies lifted off the cookie sheet very easily. After I rolled 1 tablespoon of dough in a ball, I flatened the dough slightly with my fingers and they came out just perfect after baking for 9 minutes. I thought putting more sugar on top would be too sweet since I added the raisens. Thank you Bittersweet 1 for this fantastic recipe and Merry Christmas!!!!

The best oatmeal cookies I've ever made. I had baked lots of different cookies the day I made these, and once I was done with the batter, I put it in the fridge to cool and forgot all about it. The next day, the batter was concrete solid. But I worked with it and it softened up, but not enough to add the chocolate chips that I had wanted to. No matter, with no extra add ins they were fantastic. Just right on the outside and chewy inside, and a nice subtle spicy smell and taste.

These cookies are excellent. I made some additions to the recipe. 1). 1 tsp of butter vanilla extract and 1 tsp of princess cookie dough extract. (Can order extract from Lorannoils.com). 2). 1/2 cup of baking golden raisins and 1 cup of pecans (crushed). 3). Bake for 8 mins. 4). Use parchment paper on cookie sheet

These cookies were amazing. I did not add the sugar on top, I try to use as little sugar as possible...but they turned out very chewy and moist! I will definitely make these again, but next time I may add some raisins. Thank you for posting!

YUM-MMMY! ME COOKIE MONSTER (or "sometime snack" cookie monster)! My fiance made these cookies and added a cup of raisins as suggested, and they came out phenomenal. I keep stealing them as they come out of the oven. Taste great the next day!

Wonderful! I subbed 1/2 wheat flour, used 1/2 the salt, and made 1/2 the batch with raisins. I might decrease the salt a bit more next time. Everyone loved these!

substituted with wheat flour and ended up somewhat dry and firm. will try a second time with original recipe, but even then, the first batch was wonderful with a little milk and honey.

Yummy! These were really delicious. I used 1 cup regular flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour, plus a tablespoon of wheat germ. I only used 1 tsp of cinnamon and added 1/2 tsp of cloves. 2 cups of oats were plenty. I also added 3/4 cup shredded coconut and 1 cup cinnamon chips. Chopped almonds or pecans would have been really good in this but I didn't have any. The batter was kind of crumbly, so I did form them by hand into balls, but I did not flatten them with a fork or top them with sugar. I baked them for a full 10 minutes. I got 46 cookies out of this recipe. Less than 24 hours later, there are only four left! I will be adding this to my recipe box for sure!

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.
