Excellent cookies. I used 1/2 the butter and they still came out with a great taste. The cinnamon really sticks out and adds to the flavor.

Good cookies but I think the cooking time is a bit long. These make a lot of cookies so it was a great "no school today" baking project. Thanks for sharing!

These cookies tasted great, but they spread out a lot. I'm going to try using shortening to keep them a little more compact. I was pleased though, because other oatmeal raisin recipes I've tried turned out sickeningly sweet, but these were just the right touch of sweetness. Thanks!
