These are very good and different tasting. Chewy in the middle and crispy on the outside. These are on the sweet side so the next time, I will try to cut down on the brown sugar a bit to like 3/4 cup. Thanks for the recipe.

My 28 year old daughter called me last night to ask if I would make her Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies. She was just diagnosed with breast cancer and has had some difficulty with all the drugs and chemo. So when she asked me to make the cookies, I was happy to do it because she was craving something.....anything. I didn't have a recipe for them so I searched and found this one. It sounded so good and I had all of the ingredients on hand. I made them for her this morning. They passed the test. She and her husband loved them. They were easy to make because they used ingredients that everyone usually has on hand in the pantry. Thank you for making my daughter happy and satisfying her craving.

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!
