These were wonderful cookies! Very moist and chewy. I halved the recipe but used the same amount of cinnamon and they were very tasty. I was concerned when I finished mixing the dough that it was too wet and the cookies would flatten when cooked but they stayed in a nice little mound.

Hi everyone at all recipes. this is my first time writing a review. i just had to thank lisa for submitting the grandmas oatmeal raisin cookie recipe. i am getting married nov 16 2001.and my future husband said he wished that i knew how to make those cookies well thanks to you i now know how and they turned out fantastic. he is very happy that i did this for him.I look forward to coming back to this site more often i am sure it will help me immensely. again thank you very much and keep up the great work sincerely your friend josie.
This recipe brings back great childhood memories! It's like the one my mom use to make. These are a BIG hit over here in Germany by my kids and in-laws they know all kinds of German cookie&cake recipes and know I can finally show them some American cookies!! THANKS LISA
This recipe is great and I don't like Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. I loved that you can taste the spices and that they turn out soft not hard like every other Oatmeal cookie I've had before.
Very Good. Made it a little healthier by using Splenda Brown Sugar Blend and 1 cup applesuace in place of 1/2 the shortening. I also added 1 cup walnuts. I will make again!
The spices in this recipe were excellent and the cookies had a great flavor; my only complaint is that the cookies are very dense and your mouth feels strangely sucked dry of all its moisture after each bite. Also (this may be an altitude problem) I had to cook them a couple extra minutes and I needed to flatten the cookies prior to cooking them or they cooked in near-perfect balls haha. The first batch looked pretty funny.
i loved them they were so chewy
A very very good oatmeal cookie. The flavor is excellent with all the spices. MMgood!
This was the first time trying this recipie. It went together easily but looked a little wet when done but was ok. I had to bake about 15 minutes because I use thick baking sheets. They turned out nice soft and very tasty. The spices where just in the right amount for someone to enjoy but not overpowering. Will keep this one in cookie recipie book.
