These cookies are absolutely delicious and absolutely addictive! I keep rolls of it on hand in the freezer and just slice off as many as I want to bake at one time. They never last long. My 2 year old LOVES them. Another winner from FC...

I am not sure if this is my fault or not but I can't get these cookies to stay very thick. When cooked they are nearly wafer thin. If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate them. Other than that the cookies taste awesome. We used to buy frozen Otis Spunk... cookie dough but no more! Follow-up : I made these a second time being sure to follow the recipe exactly and the cookies were much thicker. Don't know what I did but it was not the recipe's fault!

    Finally...an oatmeal cookie that has turned out perfectly for me the non-baker! This was going to be my last attempt at making oatmeal cookies, since every other time over the past years, the cookies have spread too far and been more like an thin oatmeal crisp. They were pretty tasty, but definitely the chewy, hearty oatmeal cookie I crave. Now I have my recipe and can bake with confidence, following these good, simple directions. I used an interesting combination of dried berries...cranberries, cherries and blueberries...along with a generous cup of chopped pecans. Delicious! Thank you PetitFour for restoring my faith in oatmeal cookies!

    I made this recipe yesterday and the cookies were delicious. I used parchment paper for the first time and I will never bake without it again. It is great! I wondered about the tbsp. of honey in this recipe but it must help with the golden brown color and great texture. I made about 42 cookies using a rounded tbsp. I didn't add cranberries due to my husband's insistence. The oven time was dead on and this will now be my official oatmeal cookie recipe. They were lovely and crisp on the outside and soft and chewy in the middle. How nice to find a recipe that needs no adjustments regarding oven time, etc. Thank you Petitfour!
