My husband -the cookie connisoure- gave them a 10! After his first few changed it to a 12! I added raisins but made them to Martha's recipe. Excellent. thank you Martha for still having your recipes out there. I miss your show. Oatmeal in it in Wisconsin.

Great cookies !!! I followed all of Lucinda's instructions, didn't have to modify a thing, and they were great !!!! The boyfriend loved them, my son (who doesn't like oatmeal much) raved about them too :-) !!!! Thanks Lucinda, every time I follow your recipes, things come out great -keep it up love it !!!!!! There's nothing better than making something for those you love, and they loving you right back by eating it all !!!!! ;-)

This is a weekly staple in my house. So quick to get the dough together and because it only makes a couple of dozen cookies - it is fast to bake up. These cookies have a great texture - if something can be called crispy chewy. Since I love to bake- these just last a day or so - and then I can bake something new.

I had to leave before the comments about freezing or having cookies ready ahead of time. The video sound quality was not audible. I would love to have the tips given after the recipe.

This is my mom's recipe for chocolate chip cookies cut in half. If you double this recipe, some of the more unusual amounts become more standard (6TB's both sugars become 3/4 cup, etc.). It dates back over 50 years. She only had one cookbook back then: Joy of Cooking, from the late 30's or 1940"s, but I suspect she got it off the Nestle's chips bag, the Quaker Oats carton, or a magazine. We lived in St Louis and never had contact with Laura Evans. She sent me these at college and Vietnam often.

Great recipe! Are you sure you drop by teaspoonfuls and not tablespoonfuls? Teaspoons were too small and tablespoons made exactly 24 cookies. YUMM!!

This is my go to recipe for oatmeal cookies. They are so easy and so delicious! What more can you ask for?!
