Maryann Amaro (Nevada) says:
This seems to be the recipe I've been looking for since the 60's. I'm positive this is it and I'm going to make them this week. Thank you for posting!

Could this be the recipe that was on the Quaker oatmeal box back in the 1960s? I've been looking for it for years, none of the later versions taste the same. Thanks!!

Try adding cut up gumdrops, it makes them taste really good! You can use spice ones or fruity.

My girlfriend loves oatmeal cookies, she says these may be the beast she's ever had. I went heavy on the vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg (fresh grated of course). Added pecans and Hersey's Heath English Toffee bits. Even I like them and I'm not an oatmeal cookie guy.

These are very delocious! I made as described but made them bigger and got 2.5 dozen. Time to cook was 12-13 mins.

Lana's Album (Missouri) says:
I always add a small cup or 2 of applesauce to replace part of the the butter in cookies. Tastes great and lowers calories.

Rox (Colorado) says:
The cookies are great, but I think the amount needs a recount; when I made them I got 3 1/2 dozen, not 4.
