These cookies were very good, I prefer a more cake like oatmeal cookie and these were kind of flat and crispy. Next time I would use less butter as they were a little greasy, but over all very tasty

I tried this recipe and knew that I did everything correctly. measurements and temperature. the taste is okay, but its gooey and sloppy. It didn't even form right! Worst is, some cookie on the baking sheet weren't cooked at all! I think, someone should modify the recipe. :(

My co-worker makes these all the time and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them. An easy recipe that makes a great *crispy* oatmeal cookie. Don't make if you are looking for a chewy cookie, these are not that. But boy are they good.

These cookies wouldn't form a dough without some effort. There seemed to be too dry. Next time I make them I may try adding some milk. Regardless, they tasted good. :)

These are really good, but are more like a sugar cookie than a traditional oatmeal cookie. I liked them, but still prefer the traditional, more cake-like oatmeal cookies. I also added half a cup of flaked coconut to this recipe and it made them extra yummy.

This is a great oatmeal cookie recipe - I like to add a little bit of peanutbutter and some peanutbutter chips!

I really enjoyed these cookies. I did make one change though. I always taste the cookie dough before baking and thought it was a bit bland so I added 1/2 tsp. salt. I think if you used butter or margarine you wouldn't need to add salt.

These were okay. I thought they were too sweet and they didn't spread out like I thought they would. The dough was a bit dry, but I just used a scoop and it worked pretty well.
