I’m so sorry to hear this, Derrick! Did you bake them on a center rack? If so, it sounds like your oven may be running a bit hotter than it says it is. 🙁

Agreed!
I made these last night and they are amazing! My partner says they’re the best he’s ever had — and he’s 50 y/o and comes from a family that loves to bake! The only thing I would do differently is to slightly flatten the dough balls prior to baking, but this is touched on in the post a bit when referring to rolling them out.
Fabulous! Thank you!

I’m so sorry this happened, Dawn! Did you weigh your flour or make any other substitutions? 🙁

I’ve never attempted oatmeal cookies before, because baking isn’t really my forte. However… the recipe was perfection, and they were a hit! I did modify a few areas of instruction, just to accommodate arthritic hands.
I softened butter down a bit more by using the microwave on defrost mode for 2 mins, then used hand blender to mix it and all wet ingredients together in one bowl… dry in another. I didn’t have any raisins, nuts, or choc chips on hand, so mixed in a snack size applesauce cup for a slightly moister consistency and touch of flavour. Partially flattened 11 dough balls at a time (makes 3 batches) with fork on parchment, oven at 350° for 10 mins. Perfectly baked with golden bottoms, and a soft/chewy center. Thank you for giving this Mom a Rockstar moment with her family 😉

Hi Roxanne! We’re so glad you enjoyed the cookies! We actually have a post on how to freeze cookie dough. You will want to follow the instructions for drop cookies. Hope that helps!

I made them exactly as the recipe directs and they are delicious. Actually, one tiny alteration: I only added about 1/2 to 3/4th’s of a cup of raisins. I weighed the balls of cookie dough too, to get them even (35 gm). My question: I thought I would freeze some of the unbaked cookie balls to bake later. Have you tried this? If so, would you bake them from frozen and increase the baking time, or let them thaw first?

I’m so happy to hear this, McKenna! Thank you so much for trying my recipe!

never did I think an oatmeal cookie would be a contender for my all-time favorite cookie but here we are! just made these and writing this review before these babies are fully cooled. I followed the recipe exactly using metric measurements. I used a combination of semi sweet chocolate chips and a semi dark chocolate chunk. I also sprinkled some flaky salt on top when they came out of the oven. the result is a textured, chewy mound of delicious.

I have just discovered your Oatmeal cookie recipe. I am reading through the instructions and was very pleased with your format. it is a real pleasure to read the ingredients immediately following the step instead of having to scholl back to the list of ingredients. I will make these cookies and repost a comment on your post. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Jaxie! A kithenaid mixer will work fine here. 🙂

Can you use a kitchen aid stand mixer or only the hand mixer because of the folding?

Delicious and easy to make.

I’ve used quick oats and they’ve come out just fine. I think the quick oats are just ground up a bit smaller so it changes the texture, but for me they tasted just fine. Hope this helps ❤️
