I have to admit that I, like earlier reviewers, was concerned about how sticky the dough appeared, so I went ahead and added an extra 1/4 C flour along with 2 tsp. of cinnamon, and 1 tsp. each of nutmeg and cloves. Except for these tiny additions, I followed the recipe exactly and these are WONDERFUL. They are buttery, and delicately crispy on the outside, but they are chewy on the inside. My husband, an oatmeal cookie connoisseur, says they are the best I have ever made. By the way, I agree with the reviewer that mentioned the importance of mixing the butter and sugar, per the instructions, to a "light" consistency. I am sure this step contributes to the airy yet scrumptious crispness of the cookie.

The butter makes the batter very gooey..but the recipe still works. I'd make smaller cookies and rotate cookie sheet in the middle of baking. They are crispy and chewy at the same time. Make these, you will not be disappointed!

i thought that this was the recipe i was looking for, but i read all of the reviews that tweaked the recipe and you all ruined it. It's called a 'Crispy Oatmeal Cookie,'
YOU all needed a regular oatmeal cookie recipe...go find one. this was a perfectly good 'crispy oatmeal cookie recipe" and you all screwed it up! i made it considering your tweaks AND.... then made it as written , after i followed your 'tweaks' and it was just a jive oatmeal cookie recipe. As written, it was really a very good crispy oatmeal cookie!!

Absolutely fantastic oatmeal cookie, especially the next day or two, as butter softens the oats. Made them for my 4-year-old grandson. Like many have mentioned in reviews, I added an additional 1/2 cup of flour. Tester tray yielded cookies too thin for him to comfortably palm. Also made them smaller, 1/2 tsp dollops, baked for 6 minutes. Perfect size for younger children.

These are great, I skimped on the butter and sugar a bit, and added a tsp ground cinnamon and 1/4 tsp all-spice, but followed everything else exactly. They were really good!

Absolutely perfect. Because my SIL hates nuts, we skipped those, and just added butterscotch chips. We added extra oats instead of extra flour (too-sticky dough is a problem with most cookie recipes, rolled the spoonfuls into balls and then squished them on the cookie sheet. What it also doesn't tell you is that you should let the cookies cool a little on the pan before you transfer them to the wire racks.

These would be great with other ingredients instead of just the butterscotch, too. Great flavor, wonderful crunch. I think this has just become my favorite oatmeal cookie recipe!

I thought that they had great flavor...I did increase the flour to 2 cups after reading other reviews. I'm a guy and while I do cook meals at home, I usually don't bake. I had some brown sugar at home, but it was hard lumps and did not make the cup required. I baked them for about 10 min., but some of them crumbled when I removed them from the oven. I did bake the cookies on parchmant paper on a cookie sheet. I got about 37 out of the recipe; not 48...Some were probably a little too large.....What should I have done??? Thanks for your help....

This is a very fun recipe to make with your children. The oatmeal and raisins are great together in this recipe. Kid approved by my 5 and 7 year old. Do give the cookies plenty of spread room or you have bars.

After making this cookies over and over again and always have the same problem. (Cookies always go flat I dicided to cut the butter from 3 bars to 2 1/2, so now they are perfect.
