This recipe is perfect for bachelors - or anyone who wants easy/fast and REALLY GOOD cookies. Even for a guy who's not a very experienced baker, start to finish took only 30 minutes, including baking time. Hella thumbs up :) :) :)

Wonderful! Very modifiable - any kind of nuts, or chips could be added for more fun. :) Love it!

I omitted the raisins and added Nutella instead. Delicious!

Instead of using butter/margarine, I substituted it with equal parts applesauce and added walnuts. They come out really good and chewy.

I very rarely ever use recipes from the Internet. I couldn't find a simple recipe for Oatmeal Cookies in any of my books, so I tried this one. It really turned out good. I used walnuts instead of pecans or raisins. I will use this recipe again in the near future. Thank you to who ever submitted and shared it with us!

I did not like because they are very crumbly. Not soft chewy cookies by any means.

Hi Sally,

Be sure not to watch carefully during the last few minutes (beginning at the 8 minute mark) to make sure that you don't overbake these cookies.

These cookies were so quick and easy to make, and turned out absolutely perfect (for us). I baked them on silpat mats, so they were easy to remove to cooling racks. They were crispy on the outside, and chewy inside. We spent 4 days gobbling this big batch. I did use chopped dates instead of raisins, and whole pecans because I was in too big of a hurry to make them. I'm sure they will be just as good with raisins and chopped nuts. I have tried numerous oatmeal cookie recipes with good results, but these are by far the best.

Co-worker made these for us. We all loved them. They came out perfect and she added nothing, so everyone in the office could eat them without worrying about allergies (nuts). They were great just the way they are. Thanks

This was an easy recipe to follow and my cookies came out awesome!!

Kids loved 'em so thats 5 stars no matter what!

The cookies tasted fine, but the texture was more like cake than a cookie. Probably could have reduced the number of eggs. I also substituted apple sauce for the butter, which worked well.

Tried this today, and they tasted great, but the texture was closer to that of a cake than a cookie in my opinion.

Tried this out tonight, only change I made was adding a teaspoon of cinnamon and a tablespoon of molasses, just because I had them on hand! Turned out delicious and chewy!!
