    Oatmeal cookies of any kind are my fave! More so than chocolate chip even I think! I love that you used raisins. Some people don't like them but I love them :) Pinned of course!

    How many cookies does this recipe make?

  3. Lois

    Love your recipes. On this Oatmeal Cookie recipe, do you use regular oats or quick? Does it make a difference. I love oatmeal raisin cookies and have been looking for a GOOD recipe.

  4. Garet

    Quick question, Nikki. Does it matter if you use quick oats versus rolled oats in this recipe?

    1. Chef in Training

      I use old fashioned oats for this recipe. I haven't tried it with quick, but I do know the two do have slightly different textures than the other.

    These look delicious, do you think that some of the butter could be substituted with coconut (I cannot remember the name of it, but it is solid like shortening or butter) I would also have to substitute and cut back on the sugar as my hubby is a diabetic.

    Just a warning about this recipe - the ratios are off, resulting in a very poorly baked cookie. I wouldn't recommend it! :-(

    These were delicious. I did exchange one stick of the butter for unsweetened applesauce. I also boiled the raisins because I had to steal mine from my husband's trailmix and they were salty. My neighbor told me to boil them to plump them. So good!

    What a great cookie! I think you left out cinnamon from the instructions though. I've re-read them many times in case I was wrong:)

    What did I do wrong? These are still in the oven but are totally flat - I pretty much have a cookie sheet of flat oatmeal cakes that are all connected together! They sure smell good though!

    1. Danielle Russell

      Mine too!! Flat as can be!!

    2. Phyllis

      Mine did the same..flattened out & look nothing like the picture

    3. K.Porter

      I put mine in the fridge for about 2 hours. That prevented the flat cookie dilemma. Hope this helps. ?

    4. Jen

      is your baking soda old? could be the culprit .... happened to me plenty of times until I figured out my baking soda had lost its potentcy

  10. Kim

    Please note -cinnamon is called for in the list of ingredients. However, it is omitted in the recipe directions. Missed this prior to baking. Cookies were still delicious.

  11. Becky

    Hope they're good … Minor in the oven now

    I used this recipe but cut out the cinnamon and substituted chocolate chips for raisins! They are so chewy and delicious!

  13. barbara
