These are great cookies. If you had a problem you didn't follow the recipe!!What would I know? I'm a chef.
I scaled down the recipe to only make a dozen and half but recipe does not inform you to scale down amount of the "raisin juice reserve." No matter how much you make it ask for 1/2 cup reserve. I did not catch this and had a liquid mess of shorting and sugar. I ended up doubling the other ingrediants and now have 3 dozens of cookies that leave a funny taste in my mouth. my mother however said they were ok. go figure. wont be making again.
I didnt read the directions completely the first time I made them and I used self-rising flour instead of all-purpose. I brought them to work and everyone LOVED them. The second time I made them for a bake sale and used self-rising instead... they didnt sell because they were awful. Flat and hard as a brick... Self-rising flour made all the difference.
This is the same recipe that I use. It is my favorite oatmeal cookie. I wouldn't even make oatmeal cookies if I couldn't find my recipe.
Perfect!! Moist and yummy. I have a step daughter deployed overseas and her whole troop loves these cookies.
This really is the best oatmeal cookie recipe. They always come out perfect!
This recipe is shy of what I am looking for. I doesnt seem oatmeally enough cause its a little toooo cakey. 400 is way too high my bottoms were burnt.
this recipe makes hard and flat cookies. they taste like diet cookies
I reduce the clove by half and still had a funny taste in my mouth after. If you don't like clove this is not the recipe for you.
