These cookies were so good! I didnt have any raisins or walnuts so i just made plain oatmeal cookies and generously drizzled the glaze over them! They are crazy amazing. I also added a few dashes of cinnamon-sugar to the icing recipe that adds an extra dimension to the icing. DELICOUS! These cookies are a nice thickness, cripsy edges and soft in the middle. I baked them for exactly 13 min and they are perfect. I will make these many, many times more! ;-p

These are, hands down, my absolute favorite cookie on the planet. So so so moist and delicious and flavorful. You HAVE to make the brown butter icing - it makes the cookie and I wish I could just funnel it into my mouth.

Will defiantly make this again... but next time with the walnuts & a little less salt, like that one review said - it was slightly salty but it was still great.

I didn't change anything on the recipe except I left out raisins - and I mistakenly added 1tsp of all the spices, instead of less for the ground clove and allspice. But they were still GREAT. I took them to work and they were devoured. Everyone went out of their way to tell me how great they were. I did not let my dough refrigerate or anything like some people have, and they came out perfect - very fluffy and moist. My cooking time was around 15 minutes per pan (I had to use THREE baking sheets to use up all the dough!. I definitely recommend them with the icing on the top - it gives the cookie a sweeter taste, and it takes no time at all to make. I don't think any changes are needed - when I make them again I will do it exactly the same way (except correct my error with the spices obviously. Thanks Paula!

My cookies was pretty, but did not taste good. I followed the ingredients exactly,it tasted a little salty and not sweet enough. I'll keep searching for a better recipe.

These cookies were sooo delicious and with an easy prep and cook time. Moist on the inside and loaded with tons of oatmeal/walnut and raisin goodness! I made the whole batch the same night and took some to work as gifts. Dee-lish! They were a BIG hit!

I tried this recipe last week and made the batter the day before and my cookies came out great! For those who are having problems with their cookies, here are a few suggestions:

* Check the dates on your baking powder & baking soda. They do expire and your cookies will not rise properly.

* Refrigerate your batter for at least one hour before baking. You can scoop them out before or after you refrigerate them. I like to scoop them out first. However, for this recipe, I actually froze mine until I was ready to bake them since the batter was more cake-like (more liquefied than a normal cookie dough recipe. This will allow the butter in you cookies to become solid again. Butter has a HIGH melting point! So the longer you keep the dough cool the slower it will melt when you bake them which should result in a puffier cookie. Watch Good Eats: Three Chips for Sister Marsha or The Cookie Clause on youtube.com. Alton explains it very well.

* Do not over bake your cookies or else you will get dry cookies. Everyone's oven is different so check on your cookies at least 5 minutes before they are done. If you are using darker pans, reduce your oven temperature to 325. Darker pans absorb more heat and tend to bake more quickly than lighter ones, which means you might get flat or burnt cookies.

* After cookies are baked, let them sit in the pan for about 3-5 minutes before placing them on your cooling rack or they will fall apart.

Hope this helps & enjoy the Holidays :o
