Just tasted one freshly baked today - I like the recipe (with a few changes) and will probably make them again.<br />I used coconut oil in solid form (but was kind of soft) instead of crisco.<br />I cut the sugars from 1 cup each to 3/4 cup each.<br />I beat these until they were starting to look a bit fluffy.<br /><br />I always try to lightly mix once flour is added for best texture on finished cookies.<br /><br />Added about 1/2 - 3/4 cup dried cranberries (NOT the sugar coated ones), after adding oats, chocolate chips &amp; nuts.<br /><br />I always use a little more nuts and coconut than recipes call for, so used closer to 2/3 cup instead of 1/2 cup of each.
