My fiancé had these the other day at work and begged me to make them for him. I was worried about other reviews saying these spread out too much, but like a previous reviewer I'm guessing it was failing to see that a jar of PB is 16 oz and the recipe only calls for 12. I added a tad extra chocolate chips since I didn't do raisins and used dark brown sugar. I actually was able to roll the cookies into uniform balls before baking. Baked for 9 minutes and let them cool completely on the pan. I didnt use parchment paper and these came off super easy. Cookies turned out perfectly chewy in the center and crispy on the edges. Wonderful!

I made these cookies for the first time today and they turned out great! And my 3 and 6 year old loved them!
I was worried at first reading all the comments about them being flat but I have to say those people did not follow the recipe correctly because mine look exactly like the picture.
The smallest jar of peanut butter is 16 oz not 12 so when adding the peanut butter make sure you check the ounces. Also I added 1 cup of raisens, chocolate chips and m&ms. I put the batter in the fridge for about an hour to stiffen a little before baking.
I definitely plan on making these again! I love that oatmeal and raisins are in them, next time I'm adding nuts as well.

These cookies didn't turn out...baking for 10 min left me with a gooey mess and I followed the recipe exactly and didn't over soften butter. I added time and they looked good but as soon as I set down the pan they spread out like saucers. Disappointed with this recipe.
