I cut the almond extract in half and made up for it with the vanilla. We are not big almond fans but that small amount seemed just right for our family. Otherwise, I stuck to the recipe and my husband and son say this is the last chocolate chip recipe I'll ever need. My daughter-in-law said this is what chocolate chip cookies are supposed to taste like. HUGE hit at our house. Thanks for the recipe.

A really good cookie! I used chopped walnuts instead of chocolate or raisins, and added and extra half-cup of coconut, just to finish off the bag. And tried to make them a little healthier by substituting Splenda for the sugar, 1 cup whole wheat flour for one cup of white flour, egg whites instead of a whole egg, and used only half the recommended oil (other half came form apple sauce). So, even with these modifications I loved the results! And I also got a LOT of cookies, so sclae down the recipe if you're not making them for a bunch of people. I will make them again of course!

I made this recipe this weekend to satisfy an oatmeal cookie craving that I had. It was wonderful! I substituted splenda for the white sugar and wheat flour for half of the white flour and I used raisins. I baked for only nine minutes. Also, this made so many cookies that I had to freeze half the dough. Excellent recipe! This is a definite keeper!
