I like peanut butter and I like oatmeal. Today I couldn't decide which to bake, so I tried these. I didn't add any raisins (as I don't care for them in cookies). I added a touch of vanilla and after my first batch it became obvious that these needed more flour. I ALWAYS have to add more flour to my oatmeal cookies or they spread out real thin and I like them to stay nice and even and thick. The flour helped tremendously, and the cookies are okay, but somehow I don't like them together as much as I thought I would...but the kids love them so it's good. Probably wouldn't make them again, I'd just go back to making one or the other. But thanks for the experience!

I can't believe I forgot to review this recipe. These cookies are now my all time favorite. I did use half white and half brown sugar, half white and wheat flour and used chocolate chips instead of raisins. For Christmas, I am going to use cranberries instead of raisins. Excellent recipe!

I tried this recipe, yesterday, but made three changes to it. First, I substituted half of the butter with 1/2 cup Canola oil. Next, one of the cups of sugar that I used, became brown sugar. And third but finally, I added 1 tsp. of vanilla to the recipe. I left everything else as is. The cookies were "yummy," and I suppose they would be yummy without the changes, but with these changes, they were closer to the ones I've always made. I only got 48 cookies from this recipe, because I made them on the "big" side. Gave half of them to a neighbor who thought they were excellent.

I really liked these cookies. I made the recipe exactly as directed. Althought my roommate and I enjoyed them, I am disappointed with the fact that my bf did not, because of the peanut butter (he likes everything I cook and oatmeal cookies are his favorite cookies).
