These are AWESOME. First of all, DOUBLE it. Otherwise, they will disappear the first day you make them. I tried to make it somewhat healthier which USUALLY means "yuck". Not this time. Here's what I did: added chopped walnuts, added ground flax, used whole wheat flour, substituted about 1/4 of the butter for unsweetened applesauce, and added unsweetened coconut. I also didn't add any white sugar at all. I stuck with the amount called for in regards to brown sugar. They were still sweet enough. My new favorite cookie! YUM

One word to sum it up - DELICIOUS! Good ol' Starbucks never fails. And thanks to Chef amfox for posting! I only had golden raisins so omitted dark, and didn't use the extras for topping because it seemed enough to me. I just finished baking them (15minutes) and have already eaten 3! And I'm meant to be giving these away too. Photos don't do these cookies justice - you have to try them for yourself, they're worth it

Just finished making my own lower fat-lower sugar version of this recipe. Breakfast Cookies: CopyCat Starbucks Outrageous Oatmeal (reduced fat and reduced sugar). Substituted Truvia brown sugar blend for half the sugar content and used Imperial spread instead of butter. The dehydrated fruit includes finely diced Apple (20 grams); Sunsweet chopped dates (10 grams); Ocean Spray dried blueberries (20 grams); Sunsweet finely diced bite size dried prunes (3). Added (1/2 cup=82 grams) Ghirardelli mini-semi-sweet chocolate chips.

These are very good. I substituted 1/4 cup of thin shredded carrots for raisins and taste very good. my kids loved them. You can't taste the carrots if you add them.
