Heavenly Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

"These are soft, chewy drops of heaven. They're less buttery than the recipe on the Quaker lid, so they rise more. Put them in tupperware and they stay soft forever. With chocolate chips they're really sinful. They last a day in my house."

  1. These were the best oatmeal cookies I have tasted in a long time! I used the old fashioned oats-this gives them more texture, I hear.
     
  2. These are really great and very tasty. Surprisingly I had to increase the cooking time a little as they were coming out too soft and sinking instead of staying nice and puffed up! They still tasted great though!
     
  3. I made these yesterday and they are very good.....so good that today I had to make another batch...Thanks for posting :)...
     
  4. What superb cookies! I would never have added cinnamon to oatmeal cookies before finding this recipe and now I think it will be a permanent addition. I didn't have any packed brown sugar, so I used 1 1/4 cups of a golden granulated sugar, plus two tablespoons molasses. The cookies are crunchy and soft at the same time -- pure heaven, as the name suggests!
     
  5. WOW!! Heavenly is an UNDERSTATEMENT!! These are so easy to prepare (1 bowl) and they come out so moist! I made one batch with just raisins and added the chocolate chips to the second batch - wonderful! My oven only needed 12 minutes for the cookies to come out golden brown. I really like these, very moist and plump as well as attractive. Great recipe, thanks for posting.

  1. This recipe is soooo good- especially when made with the butter. I did an oatmeal raisin batch that was delicious, we ate them all up that night. So the next day I made a batch with choc. chips instead of raisins and margarine instead of butter. They were good too, but the ones with butter were truly heavenly. In both I used light brown sugar instead of dark since I didn't have any on hand. I dropped spoonfuls of dough onto the cookie sheet and got about 48 cookies out of the recipe. This is my new oatmeal cookie recipe!
