I made these with my grandkids. They are excellent, and I will make them again. I did have to bake them a couple of minutes more than what the recipe called for, and I didn't have any molasses but they were fine without it. Instead of a cup each of chocolate chips, raisins, and pecans; I used a cup each of toffee bits and walnuts. Next time I think I will try m & m's, toffee bits, and walnuts. Yum!

This recipe truly makes the best chewy oatmeal cookie I have ever baked.

This is a fantastic recipe. I left out the raisins and replaced the chocolate chips with toffee chips. Outstanding! By the way, using parchment paper on the baking sheet really helps remove the cookies from the pan after they cool. (The toffee chips are a little sticky.) The cookies also seemed to bake more evenly on the parchment paper.

These are wonderful! My family loves them. The only thing I do different is I don't add raisins and I use butterscotch chips instead of chocolate chips. I promise you will make these over and over again.

These cookies are the best oatmeal cookies I have ever made. To make them less flat use a little more flour and oatmeal. Very tasty.

I was looking for a chewy oatmeal cookie when I came across this one. I made a few changes and added toasted walnuts, crannies and white almond bark cut into chunks. I then used a large scoop to drop them and baked for 12 minutes. We then ate them for breakfast!
