Good Cookie
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is a good cookie but found that adding about 4 tablespoons worth of water made the dough eaiser to work and the cookies... flattened better. The ones we made with the H2O also tasrwd betterRead more

New Family Favorite!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I discovered this recipe about 4 months ago. Since then, I have made it several times. My daughter and her friends are... constantly requesting these. As the previous reviewer, it is a great basic recipe. My current favorite version is dark chococlate chips and mixing all or part of the flour with soy flour. A must have for every cookie lover.Read more

AT LONG LAST!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Growing up I had a recipe called cowboy cookies that over the years had gotten lost in a move...I missed the recipe(as did my... friends and family)...finally by chance I searched the title and found this...same ingredients different portions(I grind the oatmeal as part of the flour mix in the original) but they are perfect as is...slight crisp to the outside and chewy inside....I have used white chocolate and macadamias instead(sometimes with dried cranberries)...different sweetnesses of chocolate and different nuts... just follow the basics and THERE ISN'T A BETTER COOKIE OUT THERE!Read more
