Would make this again.
My friends and family who have had these cookies say it's the best they've ever had. I do not use the parchment paper, only non-stick spray on an airbaked tray. The key (as with any cookie) is to not overcook and check them before the timer goes off. Highly recommend this recipe.

I first baked these on parchment on a non stick baking sheet and they burned after 10 min. Then I tried parchment on an airbaked, and then just rolled them directly on the non stick pan. Both batches were flat and boring to the taste. I would not make these again.

I found this recipe last week and I'm putting it in the recipe vault. This is definitely a keeper. Best oatmeal raisin cookies ever!

I received this recipe as a Christmas gift. Great presentation! This cookie was an instant family favorite!! Great consistency/texture; perfect when matched with an ice cold glass of milk. My confession: I came searching for the recipe because I couldn't wait to make them again.
