If you like oatmeal cookies, you will love these!! My husband says they are the best cookies I have ever made.
These really are good cookies, with endless possibilites for variations. I made mine without chocolate chips and added 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1 c. nuts, and 1 cup raisins. I like my cookies a little bigger, so I used a 1/4 cup ice cream scoop, flattened them slightly, and baked about 12 minutes.

This has got to be the BEST cookie recipe I have ever tried. I made some changes for myself. I used chopped dried apricots and dried currants instead of raisins, and I also coarsely chopped the chocolate chips (I didn't have any miniature ones to use which I prefer over the reg size). But it was the basic recipe for the dough that makes these cookies. Mine turned out outstanding and I'm making another batch right away to ship to my daughter away at college. Thank you so much for posting this!!!
My family really enjoyed these cookies. I split the recipe & added only raisins & peacans to 1/2 & raisins, peacans & milk chocolate chips to the other half. I also added 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to they entire recipe. They were both delicious. Don't spray the cookie sheet, it makes them come out flat. My first tray did, but after that I didn't spray the cookie sheet & they came out perfect. This is my favorite Oatmeal Recipe now.
I loved this recipe. The cookies are very soft and flavorfull. I think the key is to take the cookies out after no longer than 10 min. even though thet may not look done, they do continue to cook after they are out of the oven.
I liked another recipe in the oatmeal section better, but I didn't have the butter shortening it called for as well as butter, so I thought I would just use this as the base and only put in the raisins. I did add some spice as another reviewer did. At first I was disappointed because they turned out flat. But! they were delicious. So the next batch I did not grease the sheet, and this time they turned out perfect, nice cookies. So..if your pan doesn't stick bad, I wouldn't grease it. Unless you like the flat style. ;) Thanks for a great recipe!
Tasted great, followed the recipe exactly. I don't understand why people around here add their own ingredients and then rate there own recipe as if it were the original.
This has become my favorite basic oatmeal cookie dough recipe with a few minor changes: I use 1 cup wheat flour and 1 cup regular flour, 1 1/2 cup brown sugar and a little less than half cup of white sugar, use walnuts or almonds instead of pecans, and omit the salt. I like this recipe because it makes a basic oatmeal dough to which you can add whatever you'd like. One time I made oatmeal raisin cookies, the next time I used only chocolate chips and walnuts. I've also frozen half of the dough (without any of the raisins, chips, etc.) and just took it out of the freezer, let it thaw, added what I want to it and baked for about 10-12 minutes. The possibilities are endless with this dough. Thanks for an awesome recipe!
Delicious cookies!!! Made them yesterday morning and they are almost completely gone, dh can't stay away from them! They are the perfect oatmeal cookie, chewy, and soft, and yum! I added 1 tsp. of cinnamon and 1/4 tsp. of cloves for a more country home, fall taste to them. Great recipe!!!
Using this recipe ( we didn't add the raisins, chocolate chips or nuts) My 9 year old daughter won 2nd place at the county fair! These make wonderful oatmeal cookies! Thanks~
This is one of the best Oatmeal Raisin cookies I have ever had! They are really moist and chewy! I changed the ingredients around a little bit. I put 1/2C of white sugar instead of 1C, 3tsp. of vanilla instead of 1tsp., 3/4C extra raisins, I melted the butter in the microwave before mixing, and added 1tsp. of honey to the whole batter. ( I heard it makes cookies more moist), and I excluded the pecans and chocolate chips. I have to say these cookies are spectacular! I read tons of recipes to find out which one I would use to make oatmeal raisin cookies and I liked the sound of all the ingredients so I tried it! Yum Yum!! I also took the last half of the batter and added one full mashed banana in and mixed it up well. I cooked them about 10 min. It was delicious! Tastes just like a banana bread cookie!
As a pastry chef, I'm always playing with recipes. I tried these at home and they were good, but were a little dry....next time I'd cut back on the oatmeal. I also added additional spices to give the cookies another dimension.
DELICIOUS!! I have made these cookies over and over and they always turn out great! I also add about a tablespoon or so of honey to make it a bit more chewy and soft. They are wonderful and my family agrees!
I knew there was a cookie recipe on here that I've used many times and forgot to review; this one is it. Because I have three large ring-binders full of printed recipes I need to come up with an index of sort so I can find my favorites right away. These are probably my husband's favorite cookies; they are just like his mother used to make. Whenever I make these I double the amount of raisins and chocolate chips, and also add toasted pecans. Last night I realized that I didn't have any rolled oats in the house so I substituted with quick-cooking oats and the cookies came out just great. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe. I have to say that I think this is just the greatest Web site, and it's so nice having so many knowledgeable and generous cooks out there who are willing to share their enjoyment of cooking.
These tasted exactly like a good quality oatmeal raisin cookie you would find in a bakery. Here are some helpful tips that I thought worked really well from other reviewers: Don't grease the cookie sheets or else cookies come out flat and also don't leave the cookies in longer than 10 min. I tweaked the recipe a bit by using about 1/2 cup of sugar, used 1 1/2 cups of raisins instead of the chocolate chips and pecans, added 1 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and added 1 tablespoon of honey. So delicious! I finally found my oatmeal raisin cookie to use from now on.
These were delicious! I made a few changes: melted the butter before hand, added 3tsp vanilla instead of 1tsp, added 1.5Tbsp honey (I was looking for a very vanilla/brown sugar-ish cookie), reduced the white sugar to 1/2C, and gave my oats a once over in the food processor- i think it makes the cookies easier to eat. I LOVE these.
Very nice cookie! Followed the recipe except I split the dough for two kinds. Used 1cup Walnuts for both types but added a heaping 1/2 cup of raisins to the batter for the second type. Also left out the chocolate chips. I baked for a bit longer but probably just my oven. I got 4 dozen cookies using a #20 scoop. (little ice cream scoops) It is the only way to get uniform cookies quickly and easily. PS. I used "Old Fashion" oats. I like the "chew" from them.
These are great Oatmeal cookies. I'm about to make a batch that will accompany my climbing crew up Mt Moran. Solid work! Oh almost forgot, I don't use any chocolate chips, the Nuts and Oats do a fine job all by themselves
This is officially my favorite oatmeal cookie recipe because they don't come out like flat pieces of leather! I live at high altitude (7000 ft) and this is the first oatmeal cookie I've made that keeps its shape. I made the recipe exactly as written except I added a little cinnamon and didn't grease my cookie sheet. They came out perfect! One variation I've also made is to replace the raisins with craisins and the milk chocolate chips with white chocolate chips, delicious! I look forward to experimenting with this recipe some more to see how far I can take it since it is now going to be my go-to cookie recipe here. I'm thinking of adding peanut butter next... thanks for sharing! After hundreds of failed cookies, this is a keeper!
Being very picky about my cookies, I am often hesitant to venture beyond my tried and true cookie recipes which I have collected over the past 30+ years. This recipe is hands down the best one I have tried. No frills, no spices, etc. to distract from the wonderful and simple oatmeal taste. This recipe has now replaced the one I have used for a good long time, and it needs no adjustments made to it. Perfect as it is. If you don't have chocolate chips when you make this recipe, don't let that deter you. I have made these a few times without them, and they are still just as delicious! Thanks for sharing a fabulous recipe that has become a favorite of all the cookie snobs at my house!
Still perfect Gluten free with rice/tapioca/potato starch flour mixture, and sugar free with xylitol! A great Oatmeal cookie recipe!
These are delicious! I went by the recipe exactly, I used golden raisins, chocolate chips,and pecans.They are OH SO GOOD! I think they would be great with a touch of cinnamon too. Chewy and sweet. Love that combination! Thanks for sharing!
I used 1/2 c butter and 1/2 c applesauce, replaced white sugar with equivalent of Splenda baking mix, and omitted raisins. Added one tsp cinnamon, increased choc chips and pecans to 1 c each. These were great, although I may slip in even more choc chips next time. Not super sweet this way, but healthier!!! I also would decrease flour by 1/2 c next time, these were a little cakey for me, but they weren't dry!
Really good flavor! I found it a little dry. I used shortening instead of butter, maybe that had something to do w/it. IDK.
Everyone seems to love these cookies- they are easy to customize, as you can use white chocolate chips mixed with semi-sweet, or even butterscotch. They make a large batch and are delicious!
These were good...and we finished off the entire batch in 2 days, but I'm still searching for that perfect recipe. I added some cinnamon and left out the chocolate chips since I didn't have any. I cooked the first batch for about 10 minutes and let them rest on the cookie sheet while they cooled and they came out perfect. The other batch I left in the oven a little too long, and they were hard and crunchy, but we still ate them. May sound silly but I've never had a better oatmeal cookie than the ones they served on a Continental flight I was on a while back. The ones they give you with those little sandwiches and carrot sticks. I'm gonna keep searchin' but your version was yummy Shannon. Thanks
A nice, thick and chewy cookie! A real hit with my family. The recipe made about 4 dozen and they disappeared fast! I put in a few tablespoons less sugar than called for, and they were still sweet enough. A keeper!
Delicious. I wanted to be sure they were NOT the flat kind so I didn't let the butter get too soft and I made them larger than the recipe says (9 per cookie sheet, made 18). They were perfect. Personally, I prefer oatmeal cookies with some spices so I'll probably add cinnamon next time but still, these were great.
Very Good! I found them to be really chewy, but unfortunately not very moist. They even stayed chewy after cooling. I think I would not add the full 3 cups of oats the next time I make these. I did not add raisins, which was a good thing because I don't think I could have gotten anything more into the batter. The batter was so thick I could not drop by spoonfuls but instead had to form balls in my hand. They were fairly quick, and made exactly the amount the recipe said.
these cookies are gooey and wonderful. The perfect yumminess at the end of a hard day.They were gone within 48 hours. Enough said. :)
Good! My husband agrees! I also reduced each sugar measurement by 1/4. 2 1/4-1/2 cups of oatmeal worked for me. I increased the chopped nuts to 1+ cup and omitted the chocolate chips. They baked 12 minutes at 365 degrees and did not spread! I also can't believe I made exaclty 36 cookies. Definitly a recipe I would use again and with a variety of add-ins.
Great recipe. I left out the chocolate chips and pecans this time around and added chopped dried apricots and cranberries along with the raisins. Also a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice as well. Turned out wonderful. Great recipe to adjust ingredients to fit the time of year.
I cannot count how many times I've made this recipe over the past years. I don't add pecans raisins, however, I increase the choc. chips and add some vanilla chips (sometimes I'll throw in butterscotch chips). You cannot go wrong with this great recipe. I ALWAYS use the old-fashioned Oatmeal. My grandkids help me make this recipe and we always double or triple the recipe (which helped them use their multiplication skills in a practical way). :)
I will never use another recipe when I want to bake oatmeal cookies!! These are the BEST hands down!! The only thing I did different was I used 1/2 cup (unsalted) butter and 1/2 cup shortening in the mixture instead of using 1 cup of butter and I added 1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon right before dropping them onto a cookie sheet with parchment paper on it. Absolutely mouth watering cookies!!!
Second time making these delicious cookies. Made with the assistance of a Cuisinart and a 2.5 and 4.5 year old. Second time around, subsituted with 1 c w/w flour, 1/2 c white flour, 1/4 wheat germ, 1/4 flax seed. Only had chocolate chips this time around. Baked for the minimum time. Didn't look done, but it was. Stayed soft for days and days, well, as long as it took before they were gobbled. Probably put on a few pounds from these. Thanks for the rockin' recipe.
Excellent recipe for oatmeal cookies. I made them for my husbadn for Valentine's Day and he loved them. I only added crushed walnuts. I will add this recipe to my collection.
The only thing I have to say about this recipe (other than it is SO good) is that it needs longer than 8-10 minutes if you make large cookies rather than teaspoon size cookies. I have them in the oven at 350 for 15 minutes. DELICIOUS Bobbie whoever you are!
Really a great cookie! I substituted butterscotch chips for chocolate (not a chocolate fan) but otherwise followed the recipe and they turned out great. I will definitely make these again, perhaps eliminating the chips altogether and increasing the pecans...
This is a new favorite for my family!! They are wonderful with a bit of cinnamon or just as nice without!! This made a whole lot more than 3 dozen for me though, I am halfway through the mixture and i still have half to go!! LOVE THESE COOKIES!!!!!
These were delicious although I tried to half the recipe and for some reason they took a longer time to bake. But when they came out they were yummy and still somewhat soft, even after cooling.
all around oatmeal cookie. easy and quick. add some coconut for something different. I added cinnamon
I cut the recipe in half~ and I didn't have any raisins. (Wish I did though!) I dropped a little more than teaspoon dough sized mounds on my cookie sheets. These cookies turned out marvelous!! Oh my they are good! 5 STARS!
These were great - flavorful and chewy. I added white chips and pecans instead of the chocolate chips and raisins. Will definitely make again
Very good recipe! For a little variation in flavor, I used toasted walnuts and also toasted the rolled oats...350 degrees for 8 minutes on a cookie sheet is all it takes! Yummy! Thanks Shannon!:)
Awesome! I just made these (chewing now). I double the batch and made extra big cookies. Still not finished. Makes a lot of cookies. Absolutely to die for.
DELICIOUS! This is definitely my new go to oatmeal recipe with, like another reviewer mentioned, with endless possibilities. I used chocolate chips and cranberries in place of raisins, next time I will add pecans. My family and friends absolutely loved this recipe. Thank you!
The best oatmeal cookies I've ever tasted. Occasionally I try different recipes, this is the one I always come back to. I've made them with all the chips, raisins, nuts, and I've made them just plain and they are delicous both ways. The batter is kind of hard to mix once you add all the oats. If you don't have a heavy dutty mixer, your arm will be sore, but trust me, these cookies are worth it!
I only added raisins due to a nut allergy and not having any chocolate chips on hand. I also added 1/2 tsp cinnamon. With these small changes this recipe was wonderful. I will definitely make it again (maybe tomorrow!)
These were awesome....followed exactly except I used dried blueberries instead of raisins because I didn't have any and left out the nuts because my daughter hates nuts. Definitely a keeper!
These are great! Moist and chewy. I used raisins AND cranberries and substituted walnuts for the pecans. The dough will be very thick. Be careful not to over cook them. They should barely be brown when you take them out.
These cookies are so good! I split the batter and added only chocolate chips to half and chopped up banana to half and both batches were delicious. TIP: if you don't want your cookies to spread out too much while cooking, put the cookie sheet (with the cookie dough on it) in the fridge for a few minutes before putting it in the oven.
Great cookies. Very chewy. Do only use a spoonful of dough, though, as these spread out quite a bit as they cook.
I made these cookies with my daughters (4 and 6) on a lazy Saturday and they loved them! Very moist and thick! i did use a little wheat flour and next time will use half the sugar. A little too sweet for my taste, but definately a keeper! Thanks!
Like so many others have noted, these cookies are very easy to customize. I have made them twice now and this last time I used half butter and half butter flavored shortening....which makes the cookie spread out (butter) and yet remain chewy (shortening). I used dried blueberries, oatmeal, white chocolate chips and almonds.....yummy yummy! Try these cookies you will not be dissapointed!!
This recipe is the best!!! I am pregnant and have been craving Otis Spunkmeyer Oatmeal Raisin cookies. These are so very close. I deleted both sugars by 1/4 cup(just because I don't like things super sweet), also deleted the nuts and chocolate chips. I then added about another 1/4 cup of raisins. Thank you so much for curing my craving. Another note, I can't believe this recipe actually made 36 cookies. Cookie recipes never make as many as they say they will.
I never write reviews, but I had to for this recipe. These cookies were amazing. I made the recipe exactly as written, and they were by far the best oatmeal cookies I've ever made. My flatmates raved about them, and they didn't last the night. I seriously recommend these cookies!
Made them. First batch, I didn't think was done, left in too long, and now they are crisp/dry. Do yourself a favor and take them out at the appro. time, let them sit on the sheet for 5 mins, then remove. That second batch is still chewy and moist. Overall, both types are still very edible and delicious. Entire family loves them. Thanks!
This is a pretty good recipe, but please don't try crisco or margarine in this recipe, it may turn out okay but butter will make it taste rich...butter is essential in baking! I think it calls for too much oats so I used 2 1/4 cups, and will cut it to 2 C next time for a chewier cookie.
I love these cookies. Nuts, Chocolate with Oatmeal. How can you go wrong! This has replaced my old oatmeal cookie recipe.
I have made these several times in the last month and they are the best oatmeal cookies I have ever made. I use dark brown sugar and dark chocolate chips to give them a slightly richer flavor. Wonderful!
Oh these are SOOOOO yummy!!! I left out the nuts and doubled the chocolate chips (used the mini ones)...freakin' FANTASTIC cookies!!! They will not last long I fear! :)
I originally tried this recipe for a cookie swap because my husband didn't like Oatmeal cookies and I thought they'd be safe in the house. They were amazing and my husband loved them. I swapped out the raisins for a cup of mixed dried berries. The dark chocolate chips paired perfectly with them. I also tried a white chocolate variation using white chocolate chips and a white chocolate liquor in place of the vanilla extract.
this was a great recipe. i baked the cookies for 10 minutes, and they turned out nice and soft, and stayed that way the next day. i added a 1/2 t of cinnamon as some others had suggested, decreased the oatmeal to 2 1/3 cups and didn't grease the cookie sheet, but lined it with foil instead (i do this to all my cookies, and they never stick). i think next time i will use more than a half cup of nuts though, or bigger chunks of nuts, b/c i couldn't really taste them too well.
I used 2 cups oatmeal, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, and walnuts (instead of pecans). Following the advice of other reviewers, I didn't grease the pans. I was able to make 60 cookies with the batter. I brought 3 dozen to work the very next day and they were gone in 3 hours! Terrific recipe--thanks Shannon!
Great recipe and very easy. I skipped the raisins and pecans (didn't have them) and added peanut butter chips and coconut. Rave reviews!
These cookies were great. They baked very, very quickly on my silpat, about five or six minutes per batch. Try making them with cranberries instead of raisins, everyone loved them.
Turned out perfectly, followed the recipe to the letter. Delicious, I can't stay out of them. I thought they'd be a little too busy but the pecans add *just* the perfect touch to the flavor. I love them.
These are the best oatmeal cookies I'v ever baked! Delicious with whatever you decide to add -- walnuts, choc chips, butterscotch chips, etc. Perfect every time!
these were really yummy! I doubled the vanilla, added some cinnamon and omitted the pecans due to allergies, 12 minutes was perfect in my oven on Silpat lined sheets, I used my #50 scoop and got 51 cookies, flattened with the bottom of a glass, I also chilled the dough before baking.
I've tried over 100 oatmeal cookie recipes, and this is indeed one of the best. This is the first 5 star recipe I've found on this site...
After reading many reviews, I made these cookies exactly as written and found them to be extraordinary! I've been baking cookies since I was 12 (I'm now 69) and this recipe goes to the top of my list of favorites. It's a chewy cookie...just the way I like oatmeal cookie to be. I did find that I had to bake them longer than the recipe required (14 minutes) and allowed them to cool the 5 minutes before removing them from the cookie sheet. I did not grease my cookie sheets and they turned out fine. I was babysitting my neighbor's children who gobbled them up and asked for more...a real testament of how good they are!
Wow, are these dangerous!! In a really good kinda way! I was looking for yummy cookie recipe so i could finally use up my cinnamon chips! I used them in place if raisins, pecans and choc chips. That's the only change I made..w/the exception of letting the vanilla spill over more than 1tsp. Froze most of the dough for later. Yummmmm
These cookies come out just right if you follow the baking direction just as it says taking them out of the oven after 12 min and then cooling for 5 min on the cookie sheet before removing to the rack. I added a little cinnamon and cloves to spice them up a little. They were so crisp on the outside yet soft and chewy in the middle. I didn't have any problems with the dough being too dry like some said. Try them and watch them dissappear. In fact......I think I'll go have another now :).
I thought it was strange to grease the baking sheets for cookies, but it is definitely necessary, as they are sticky cookies. Tasted very good. I used white chocolate chips and apricots instead of raisin (I made them for a new mom, and heard that oats, pecans, and apricots might help with milk production)
These are the best Oatmeal cookies ever. Light and crispy and delicious. Decided not to add the choc. chips, but otherwise followed the recipe to a tee. I don't think the cookies lacked anything without the choc chips, they stand on their own. I finely chopped the pecans. They flattened out but to a nice thickness. It's important to let them sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes otherwise they're too soft to hold their shape. I won't be using any other recipe for Oatmeal Cookies in future. Thanks to the poster. Made 72 nice sized cookies.
My family's favorite oatmeal cookie recipe- I use cinnamon chips instead of chocolate chips for a different taste.
I thought this was a great cookie recipe. I left out the cho chips as a personal preference. I brought some to work today and they were gone by 9.
the cookies were light and fluffy. they didn't go flat at all. everyone loved them.
they looked perfect. There was just the right combination for the dough to maintain its shape, not to dry, not too wet. I didn't have raisins so thru in a cup of pretzel m&m's i had. The kids adored them. Dad did as well.
Great cookies! I soaked the raisins in hot water for about five minutes to plump them up. I left out the pecans because I didn't have any on hand. I was a little skeptical about the small amount of chocolate chips, but it ended up being a good amount for the recipe.
These are awesome! I changed it up just a tad, I added a little cinnamon & unsweeted cocoa (had seen another recipe that used a lot of cocoa and didn't think it was a bad idea!), replaced the pecans with almonds since that's what I had on hand & left out the chocolate chips since I was out, but otherwise left the recipe as written. SOOO good. I don't think the chocolate chips/pecans would change it any and I'll have try it that way next time. My husband and I ate way too many the first night I made them and my three year old specifically said "these are delicious cookies you made mommy!". Definitely a keeper -- super easy and super yummy!
The absolute best oatmeal cookies I have ever tested! All of my friends raved about them. The only thing I did differently was I cut the recipe in half and only used 5 tbs butter, still used 1/2 cup chocolate chips, and left out the raisins and nuts. Amazing and so moist!
Wonderful recipe! Taste just like one I for some reason can't find anymore on this site, so I am so happy about finding this one! These have perfect sweetness and I addes chocolate chips and white chocolate chips too in half the batch. These are great because you can add any nut, raisins, white and regular chocholate chips and no matter what it tastes great! THank you!
This is an awesome recipe! Very easy to make. I love recipes that have 1 cup measurements instead of 2/3 cup of this, or 1/4 cup plus 1 Tbl of that. My husband doesn't like nuts, and I didn't have any chocolate chips, so I used 1 cup of butterscotch chips instead, but they were awesome! It's a great cookie recipe, and they bake up very nice. Chewy and moist, and they keep very well, too. Definately a keeper! Thank you.
I love these and will make them again!!! The cookie dough also freezes very well. Thanks for a great recipe.
Wonderful!! Made the house smell good too. Family can't stop eating them. I tried one so I could write a review. Pretty dang good! Crispy on the outside, chewy in the middle. Didn't have raisens or pecans so I used dried cranberries and walnuts-super yummy. I loved reading everyone's tweek's to the recipe, I'll have to try some of those twists in the future.
These were delicious! I used 1 1/2 c. Brown sugar and 1/2 c white sugar as someone else recommended, and omitted the pecans and chocolate chips and used 1 1/2 c raisins. And the batter will be very thick, and just wanted to note that whatever shape you spoon the cookies onto the sheet is the way they will look when they finish baking. These are soft and moist and wonderful!
This recipe was pretty good.. The first day I made them they were really moist and chewy, but the next day they were not soft after I put them in a container. I also didn't use the nuts, but I used more chocolate chips instead. I used butter flavored Crisco too. I use that will all my recipes that call for butter. If you do, just make sure you follow the instructions on the package, you have to also add a little water.
Cookies were okay (but not as I expected from reading other reviews.) They stayed in a mound-shape from the cookie scoop and didn't spread out at all. Had to flatten out to cook all way through. Mine turned out a tad bit on the dry side for some reason. Other than that, it was an easy recipe and the pecans gave it a very unique flavor.
We LOVED this cookie! I didn't change a thing of the recipe and the cookies came out soft, chewy and yummy. I'll be making these cookies again and again.
Terrible! These cookies turned out extrememly thing, and therefore crispy. I don't know if it's the high altitude, i live in Boulder. I would never make this recipe again.
I followed this recipe exactly, but for some reason my cookies taste like hardened oatmeal! :( I'm not sure what I did wrong, and I'm sad since everyone else's reviews are great! I'll give it a try again, and hopefully they'll turn out better. It's obviously me, not the recipe.
I like it that these cookies didn't flatten out like some other oatmeal cookies and the texture was good. The only minus for me was that they were just a little bland. It needs something. Perhaps spices such as cinnamon. Otherwise, a really good cookie.
The best Knock-You-Out-Of-The-Park cookies I've ever baked! Reduce the Oats to 2 Cups, and up the Chocolate Chips and Pecans to 3/4 cup, and they are to die for! 12 minutes at 350 is just perfect :)
