    Holy crap! I made these. Not only are they soft and not overwhelmingly oaty, they carmalized sugar taste in them was delicious. I substituted cranberries for raisins and left the creamed sugar mixure out until it was extremely soft - almost liquid. People have been offering to buy batches of these cookies off me. Love this recipe

    These cookies turned out great although I did make a couple substitutions. I blended 1 cup of oats in the blender until finely ground, added a bag of butterscotch chips and about a cup of macadamia nuts. They tasted great. I omitted the rest of oats and raisens. Only thing I wonder is why they came out so flat? The taste was great but I wish they would have been a little more full and "fluffy." Still a 5 star in my book and I'll be using this again soon

    I swear on a stack of cookbooks that these cookies are near to perfection! I like oatmeal cookies (BUT only when they're soft and chewy; I don't like crispy oatmeal cookies) but my son and hubby don't like 'em at all. With anticipation of a personal oatmeal-cookie-feast, I halved this recipe and whipped up the batch this afternoon — easy to prepare. I made one change with regards to ingredients: I soaked the raisins in some hot water and dark rum for about 15 minutes, then drained well. As for preparation, I used a small scoop, baked them for just 10 minutes, and they were (are!) divine — soft and tender and chewy. My yield (small scoop, half of this recipe) was 41 cookies. A true Hall of Fame cookie, Bev!

    WOW!! These are the BEST oatmeal raisin cookies ever!! Soft, moist, chewy, the texture is perfect! I used unsalted butter and added 1/2 t cinnamon. These cookies are as good as any bakery sells. This will be my oatmeal cookie recipe from now on! Thanks Bev!!!
