NOt the prettest cookie, but a big hit in my house. My kids can't get enough of these and they don't normally like oatmeal cookies. I used a subsitute buttermilk suggestion (1tbsp lemon juice and enough milk to make a full cup with both) and used baking powder instead of baking soda. I also turned the heat down to 350 and cooked a little longer. One last thing... there's no way anyone is going to get 72 cookies out of this! I got a little more then 36 using a teaspoon. - 26 Mar 2003 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I was looking for a chewy cookie, that is very moist inside. These are very cake-like and dry. The batter tastes better than the cooked product. - 07 Apr 2007 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
This recipe makes a very tasty cookie and is easy to double (which you will need to do if you want 72 cookies, I doubled it and almost got 6 dozen). I made a double batch and left the walnuts out of half and in that half, I added an extra 3/4 cup of raisins. Very moist and delicious!! - 06 Dec 2006 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
