EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Use old-fashioned rolled oats instead of quick-cooking rolled oats.

Instead of raisins, use your favorite dried fruit. Try dried apricots, blueberries, cherries, cranberries, chopped dates or figs, or mixed fruit bits.

Oatmeal cookies freeze well. Transfer the cooled cookies to airtight containers and freeze them for up to six months. For grab-and-go desserts and snacks freeze two or three cookies each in resealable plastic freezer storage bags.

These are just wonderful! I used raw sunflower seeds for the nuts, and substituted 1/4 cup whole wheat flour in place of 1/4 cup of the white flour in the recipe. A great, wholesome after-school snack!

Yum yum! I will definitely make these again!

I have tried other oatmeal raisins cookie recipes and none have turned out as good as yours. I added to half the batch some sweetened shredded coconut (as my daughter loves oatmeal raisins cookies without any additives) it is absolutely out of this world. Thank you I will use this recipe again. Karima

I baked this cookies at 350 degrees and they were great, the only thing is that they were a little to sweet for me.

I found that 375 degrees was too hot with my oven because within 5 minutes my cookies burned.May be it's because my cookie sheets are too thin? I had to turn the oven down to 325 degrees.
