WOW. I also left out the orange zest, but regardless these cookies are amazing. Thanks!

Oh, and I left out the orange zest, because I didn’t have any. I didn’t miss it at all.

Smelled and tasted delicious!
I halved the butter and sugar in this recipe (I live in Germany, and I think the butter is different here or something, anyway, it works better with less butter and it is plenty sweet with half the sugar.) I also only put in 1 cup of chopped pecans, because 2 cups seemed like a ton to me (and I am a newbie with nuts in my cookies.) And I threw in about 2 handfuls of raisins to the mix. Tasty outcome! Thanks for the recipe. :)

After a failed attempt at making one of making the thick, oatmeal cookies, I was a bit wary of trying this. This recipe is amazing! I replaced white chocolate chips with regular and added cranberrys and omitted the nuts (allergic). The final touch was using sea salt. Amazing! I felt like I did something right for someone who’s not much of a baker. Thank you!!

These cookies are delicious! I’ve substituted the chocolate chips with 1 cup of dried cranberries. I think next time I’ll add another 1/2 cup of oats also. But it was definitely scrumptious as-is!

I’ve been a fan of your blog for quite some time now, but this is the first time i’ve ever posted a comment. I LOVE to cook, but the most annoying thing is following a recipe to have your expectations fall flat. The reason why I absolutely LOVE your site is because you actually made these dishes and take away the guesswork for readers of your blog. I don’t have to wonder if it’s going to be good. i KNOW its going to good. I love this site, because i TRUST your judgment.

You’re site is the first one I search when I’m in the mood for cooking something specific. If by chance it’s not on here, THEN i do a google search and go through the pain staking task of determining which recipe has potential. You keep the cook in all of us motivated! Cheers!

I just made these and they are the most amazingly delicious cookies I have ever baked! I bake often – I bake cookies often. These are by far the most perfectly flavored cookie I have ever experienced!

Thanks for such a great blog! I consult it regularly for my baking and cooking needs!

Hands down, the most delicious cookies I have ever made! Never will I go back to Toll House. I personally thought the orange zest was crucial to making these what they are…heavenly. It’s like a nutty Jaffa-Cake oaty experience. It was hard to not eat all the batter before baking these cookies. Thank you for this incredible web site! It’s very user friendly for a new baker.

These were incredible. I VEGANIZED them with vegan buttery sticks, flax egg replacer and vegan semi sweet chips (which I think they are anyway). No one was the wiser! Absolutely love your site!!!!!!!
