I halved the recipe but changed the sugar to light brown sugar, added 1 egg, 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. As soon as I pulled them out of the oven I dusted them with normal sugar. Mmmm

I changed it up slightly by adding an egg and 1/4 cup of water.. I also put in 1 tsp. vanilla and 2 tbsp. cocoa.. It was awesome! The cocoa didn't overpower the oatmeal.. Yummy fluffy cookies!

So excited to find an uncomplicated oatmeal cookie recipe for my 9 year old to make for 4-H. This is his first year, so we wanted something simple that would taste good enough for a purple ribbon! Will have to let you know what the judges think! And also, any recipe that gets mixed with hands gets two thumbs up from my boys!

I altered the recipe, kind of used it as a base and changed it up a bit. I cut the recipe in half, added an egg b/c it seem like the trend, cut back on the sugar and added some honey, vanilla and a pinch of cinnamon. I also used whole wheat flour instead, it tasted great and it was fluffy and moist. Try them with ice cream, YUM!!

Super, super yummy!!! My 5 year old daughter and I had fun making these! We added the two eggs and 1/2 cup flour, but then we also added in whatever sounded good from the suggestions... 1 mashed banana, 2 tbsp. cocoa, 1/2 cup peanut butter, a little shredded coconut. We cracked up talking about silly things we could add like onions, tomatoes, hash browns. It was a fun activity for a 5 year old! And the cookies were great!!! :)

Very simple due to few ingredients which I was looking for. Added 2 eggs as advised by many and butterscotch chips because that's how I like oatmeal cookies. Overall taste was good (not great) but the cookies were crunchy on the edges and crumbly through the middle.

I am diabetic so I use Spenda for baking in any recipes requiring sugar. I've noticed that the "fake" sugar, for some reason, tends to make cookies much drier. I've tried using more milk, eggs, peanut butter but they always turn out dry. The product works excellent when used to make apple pies. Go figure!

The recipe is awesome. My 2 yr old son loves cookies and this one is healthy too. I replaced flour with Wheat flour and added eggs also with chocolate chips on top. It took 15 minutes each in 6 batches making around 80 cookies of small size.

I added 2 eggs and some cinnamon. They are really flavorless. Next time I think I will add choco chips.

 Mary (Florida) says:
I didn't read the comments before making so I did not add the eggs so mine were dry. I added pureed apple instead of butter and half the sugar, they had a good taste. I will try with egg whites next time.

I made this but put a bit of a twist on it! I used peppermint marshmellows, pinch of salt, peanut butter, and coconut! It was great, but I didnt add an egg and they weren't dry. I also added vanilla and cinnamon. Good luck
