Awesome cookie! I used special dark cocoa, that’s why they are darker. My hubby taste tested and he said “don’t take them to the outing, I like those!” You are right, do not overbake!
The only of change I made was shortening instead of butter. That’s just the way I make cookies and I prefer the texture. I guess I also made them a little bigger than described. Baked for 10 minutes. These are easy and good. Not too sweet. Hit with my crew. Will surely make again.
Excellent cookie. The only thing I changed was using 1/2 cup raisins and 1/2 cup of dried cranberries.
I made 24- halved all quantities as per the automatic calculations. Amazing.
Really good ! Gooey soft but it definitely needs chocolate chips or nuts or something else in it. Thank you for sharing!
I made it exactly as written and they were excellent oatmeal cookie texture, chewy middle crispy edges, with a raisinette flavor profile. Loved them!
How do you get them really flat do you press them with a spoon? The first batch is out and cooling and I have not tasted as yet, but they are just not as flat as the ones I tasted up North and liked so much.
I added semi sweet chocolate chips to this recipe and it was really good. Good base recipe with or without cocoa. Family enjoyed eating the cookies.
Add two tbs peanut butter Forget the salt Add chocolate chips… AMAZING!
It’s sticky , doughy and really bland. Cooking them for alittle more time did not help either.. I’m so disappointed
I changed the recipe to fit my health standards. Instead of the butter I used 1/2 cup coconut oil and 3 small grated, peeled apples. When I was done the dough/batter looked too wet, so I added almost a whole cup of flour! I think next time I will put in a lot less flour, but they did end up as very interesting lump-shaped cookies. They have a kind of mild chocolate flavor – I’ll add more cocoa next time, but overall this is a really great cookie!
I followed the recipe to a tee – but, I did add a spoonful of peanut butter at end. Very tasty – will make again. Thanks. Made this again and added a couple drops of almond extract, yummy!
Omitted the raisins, added cinnamon, and made them into squares.
Delish cookies! Soft in the middle. I didn’t have enough raisins so added dried cranberries to the mix. I also used Turbanado sugar to replace the white sugar.
yummy. I omited vanilla, did not have any. added 1 T peanut butter & halfed the recipe, no raisens. used margerine. used regular oatmeal. very good.
These are great, and perfect to make with my 5-year old helper! We subbed half chocolate and half white chocolate chips for the raisins, and thet turned out fudgy and just right. We rolled them into balls for uniformity, and they spread perfectly, 11.5 minutes bake time.
These are AWESOME! Only changes I made where omitted the raisins (only because I had none in the house) and used coconut oil in place of butter :). Wonderful cookies!
These are very good as is! I didn’t have raisins so I added the chocolate chips. They didn’t seem to flatten too much while baking so I helped that along by gently pressing them down with a damp fork. 8 minutes seemed to be the perfect time for baking with my oven. They are slightly crisp on the outside but still soft on the inside. Very easy and tasty!
I think this is an awesome cookie recipe. I took another reviewer’s advice and added some peanut butter at the end with the oats. I skipped the raisins. In addition, I had some patriotic marshmallows left over so when the cooking time was about 2-3 minutes out, I took the cookies out, plopped a star marshmallow on top and put back in oven to get slightly melty. The taste was heavenly and the gooey marshmallow put it over the top!
I added cinnamon and thought they were quite good. Adding another mix-in might make them outstanding, like dried blueberries or cherries or chocolate chips or peanut butter chips or something.
Great! I also added 2 Tb of peanut butter at the end. Then once they were cooked I added some melted caramel and a little sprinkle of salt on top.
