I halved the recipe and was pleasantly surprised! No need for eggs - who knew? Excellent tasty chewy cookie - I will definitely make again. PS - I added a few additional drops of water. I also rolled the dough up in balls like the recipe said and when I took them out of the oven flattened them a tad with the back of a spatula. VERY IMPORTANT these cookies do not brown, so do not overcook.

Really yummy cookies! I was surprised to realize I'd omitted the cup of white sugar yet they were still so tasty! I'll use this recipe again.

Excellent cookie!

Hunkered down in a Hurricane here on the East Coast, power still on - forgot to get eggs, What a great recipe! But one question - what does the vinegar supposed to do? Cooked at 350°F for 13 minutes. I put dried cranberries and raisins in mine. FANTASTIC! and EASY!!!

Very yummy! I decreased the sugar by 1/2 cup and split it (1 cup brown, 1 cup white). I substituted 1/2 cup applesauce for 1 stick of the butter - cut down the fat content as well as getting rid of the crumbling issue. I also use whole wheat flour.... Worked very well! Will be making again!

This recipe's awesome!! Made half a batch of them, omitted the white sugar and made them with chocolate chips instead of oats & raisins hehe

I cut down on the sugar, using 1 cup each of light brown and granulated. I plumped my raisins and added a 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon. I also had to flatten mine sightly. My cook time was also 13 minutes. Good Recipe. Was out of eggs and in a jam. :)

I made these cookies yesterday because my son is allergic to eggs. I had been looking for some chewy cookies. These are it! Everyone in my family loved them. I made some changes because I don't like them too sweet. I cut the sugars in half, and added a little more water.

These cookies are delicious!!!! I couldn't stop eating them! You're pure genius.. :)

Were these to be flattened on the cookie sheet? I left them as balls and they stayed that way.

These were a huge hit with my kids today when I wanted to bake with them but realized I was out of eggs. The only thing I did differently was to add chocolate chips and having done that, I would cut back on the sugar next time. Also, they do not have a strong oatmeal taste or texture like I'm used to from the oatmeal recipe on the back of the Quaker Oats box. Next time I will try using more oats, less flour. But overall these were quite good!

THANK YOU!!!! my daughter is allergic to eggs so this will be such a nice treat for her!

Like most of the other commenters, I was out of eggs but wanted to make cookies. I seriously tripped over the vinegar, especially when I could really smell it in the dough. I was also out of brown sugar, so I used 3 cups of white sugar. I used 2 cups whole wheat flour (kids can't see it), 1/2 cup white flour, also needed to add 2 T extra water. I used hot water. I baked 6 cookies per sheet (42 gm dough each). They did not look done after 12 minutes, but after sitting for 5 minutes were chewy good. I can't wait to try some of the suggestions left by others. Thanks for this versatile delicious recipe!

My big guy and my little guy gobbled these up! I didn't have eggs or any goodies in the house ... I surprised them with these cookies and everyone was happy.

YUM! I just made these and since I didn't have any nuts I used chopped granny smith apples and added some cinnamon. They are a little too sweet for my taste, I might try less sugar and more oats next time. But so far, they are delish and a great base to add whatever special ingredients you like.
