Excellent chewy, crispy cookie; I did reduce both sugars to 3/4 cup per another review.  I could probably reduce to 1/2 cup each and still be an awesome cookie.  I used honey as I also did not have molasses.  This is definitely a keeper

I've made this recipe twice with identical ingredients. They spread out a lot, much like the lace cookies made with oatmeal, and to my taste are overly sweet. I know that's just subjective. I will give it another go but reduce the brown sugar by half.

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!

***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.

Really good cookie. Instead of using raisins and chocolate chips I used yogurt covered raisins and dried cranberries. They were delicious.

If you want to bake without chips in-  you'll need to add 1/4 a cup of oats and 1/2 a cup of flour, plus 1 tablespoon more.(or more flour, if you feel you need it) Bake at 350 for 10 - 12 minutes. Bake up nice and soft and slightly puffy! If you don't, they'll be flat and runny.

These are great. I don't understand the negatives; perhaps the failure to rise was due to outdated baking soda?  My first effort was perfect; well risen, delightful melding of flavors with just enough complexity to make one consciously struggle to discern the ingredients.  I have altered, however, to my liking by the addition of 1/4 tsp ground cloves and 1/2 cup additional oats; I subtracted 1/2 cup sugar--I always enjoy less than recommended sweetness in any recipe. Can take or leave chocolate chips but... All said, I'll keep this as a mainstay.

I give this recipe 5 stars for flavor and texture. For some reason I was craving oatmeal raising cookies, and this fit the bill. The cookies spread out more than I was expecting, however.  I made some notes to increase the flour for next time to see if that helps. EDIT: I am still tweaking this recipe for my taste, with 1/2 c sugar, 3 c flour, tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 1/2 c raisins, no pecans or chocolate chips. These changes took away from the chewy texture, however.  More changes required.

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 have made these cookies numerous times since I first discovered it. It is by far my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE oatmeal cookie!! When i want oatmeal cookies this is what I turn to. It is FABULOUS!! NO other cookie compares... THANK YOU TASTE OF HOME!!

Made these cookies for the holidays. They were just as stated: chewy and delicious. I substituted holiday M&M's for raisins. Otherwise followed the exact recipe. I will definitely make these again.

They are flat, they do stick to the pan, but they taste really good. A but on the buttery side,  but definitely chewy. I will try this recipe one more time; putting the cookie dough in the fridge for an hour or so, and then baking.

This is the best oatmeal cookie recipe ever I love it

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.

Made these with the grandkids. Very easy to make. Used walnuts because that's what we had on hand and halved the recipe. Will be making these for Santa this year! Delicious!!

True to its name, it IS chewy...not just hot out of the oven, but the next day, as well.  I made them the first time exactly as written, mostly to find out if they were, in fact, chewy.  They were, and were gobbled up quickly.  I made them again, using dried cranberries in place of the raisins, and leaving out the chocolate chips, but using the pecans.  I'm wondering if the chewy comes from the molasses, or what.  What I do know is that this is my go-to cookie now.  Simply delicious.

These are one of my most favorite cookies! They are soft and chewy and use REAL butter, which I like as well. The combination of raisins, pecans and chocolate chips make the cookies extra delicious. I highly recommend these cookies.

Oatmeal cookies with raisins are one of my favorite cookies. Adding chocolate chips is just a bonus for this yummy recipe. I did leave out the pecans. The outside of this cookie is crisp and the inside is chewy.

They are a flatter cookie but are soft and chewy. When I make them again I will add a little more cinnamon. I just like more of a cinnamon taste. I have never been able to make a soft chewy oatmeal cookie until now.

love this oatmeal cookie! I substituted the baking truvia and it turned out great!
