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.

This is an excellent basic oatmeal cookie recipe. Just the right amount of spices, sweetness and saltiness. I've added chocolate chips, I've tried cranberries, and served them plain. All versions were a hit. The only thing I change is to use a tiny bit less of the butter called for, which helps them not flatten out too much. I will definitely continue to use this recipe again and again!

Great Oatmeal cookies. I baked them yesterday and so far they are still soft and chewy. Great tasting. I made two batches, one with raisins and one without. Both are good, but I prefer the raisins. I as well didn't push them down with a fork before going in the oven, I just kept them in a ball and they still melted down kinda thin. My only con to the cookie is that it didn't stay plump. I will definitely bake them again, and would set out for company.

Yumilicious. I used 1 stick of butter instead of 1 cup. Also 1/2 cup of white sugar instead of 1 cup. They turned out perfect. No need for all the extra calories! This one's a keeper! This is a good base recipe that allows you to add whatever you want. I did one batch with dark choc. chips, another batch with white choc. chips, dried cranberries, coconut and crushed pecans, another batch with raisins, and the final batch with butterscotch chips and crushed pecans. Fantastic gourmet cookies. Thanks for the recipe.

Mmmm this is a good Oatmeal Cookie recipe !! I followed the recipe to a T except I did have to use a 1/3 cup of margerine (ran out of butter) and they came out fine. I also baked mine for 13 minutes (golden colour), they are still chewy in the middle but crunchy on the outside. Very simple to make..I do not own an electric mixer (just an old fashioned hand held one) and it was still pretty easy to mix all the ingredients (just had to use my muscles lol). I, like others, did not let the mixture cool for an hour, and I did not press down with a fork+sugar... I just scooped the mixture out with a spoon on plopped it onto the cookie sheet. Next time I'm going to try adding chocolate chips!! Yumm !! Thanks for this recipe !!

This is the first time I've ever made cookies and I just have to say that they came out absolutely gorgeous! I didn't leave the dough to rest, as another reviewer suggested, and just formed them into balls straight away. They are slightly on the sweet side for me so I would reduce the amount of sugar the next time I make them and they would be great with some added nuts/raisins/berries too. But even as they are, they're great, do try the recipe! :)

This is really good recipe. I changed some parts for making it chocolaty... So instead of 2 cups of sugar I added I cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of instant chocolate mix. As for the oatmeal I added 2 and 1/2 cup of instant oatmeals, and I added 1/2 of sliced almonds. That way I still got the soft oatmeals and with delicious chocolate and nuts :) enjoy
