Chewy Oatmeal Cookies
I packed chocolate chips, raisins, nuts and cinnamon into my oatmeal cookie recipe. These soft cookies are easy to make. Best of all, our kids love them! —Janis Plageman, Lynden, Washington

Reviews
A good chewy cookie, but way too sweet with the raisin and chocolate chip add-ins. Using the add-ins, cut the sugars by half, and increase the oatmeal. A very good cookie.
Great recipe! If you love a chewy cookie, you will enjoy these. I changed it slightly to make it slightly more healthy. Lowered the sugars to 3/4 cup each, raised the Old Fashioned Oatmeal by 1/4 cup and added 2 Tbs wheat germ. Craisins and small jar of baby prunes are always a great addition. I also refrigerate them for 20 minutes before baking. Delish. Would like to let John know he may have his own way of making changes to a recipe, likes and dislikes, but please respect others choices. Individuality is great. Happy baking!
I made these plain ( no raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips, etc.) so I needed to add a couple more tablespoons of flour. They are really good, chewy oatmeal cookies. My husband really likes them!
This recipe LOOKED like the cookie I wanted to make. I followed the recipe except I omitted the choc chips. These cookies are just totally wonderful! I can't wait for my Grandchildren to raid the cookie jar! :) !
Excellent recipe I added dried cranberries instead of raisins and a little coconut flakes to experiment and some extra oats to make them more chewey. Had to adjust a few ingredients because it was too dry but they came out so good I'm making some more but this time I'm adding sweet potato to the experimental mix. Might as well make them good and nutritious. Super oatmeal cookies!
This will be my new staple. Came out exactly as we like them... So So good.
***I never bake; this was probably only my second or third time making cookies from scratch. I had a craving for a really good oatmeal cookie and found this recipe.*** This recipe was simple, delicious, and definitely a keeper. I followed the recipe directions exactly without any issues (except my cookies didn't come out that flat like the picture. This might be because I left them as little balls on the baking sheet but I'm not sure). I did make a few adjustments. I cut the recipe in half and since my husband is vegan, I made a few substitutions: 1. I used Miyoko's European-Style Cultured Vegan Butter https://miyokos.com/collections/vegan-butter 2. I used Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer https://www.bobsredmill.com/gluten-free-vegan-egg-replacer.html 3. I used Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Mini Chips https://enjoylifefoods.com/products/semi-sweet-chocolate-mini-chips-1?variant=20209502879855 4. I also added unsweetened coconut flakes since I love coconut. Very delicious and would recommend.
Excellent recipe! I refrigerate any cookie dough for 30 mins that uses butter for fluffier results. I also use either parchment or non stick foil to prevent any cookies from sticking and these turned out perfectly.
soft and chewy reminded me of my grandmother's when I was a kid I really didn't adjust anything I think they're perfect as they are great. My boyfriend love them
Agreed. These cookies are delicious but flat. Some of them ran a bit so i think there is too much butter in the recipe.
