I have made this recipe twice in the last week, and it is fantastic. I left out the cloves and I toasted and ground the pecans (to fool the family). I used about 1 tsp of the orange zest, which was perfect — just a hint of flavor w/o being overpowering. My family loved them, and the kids usually won’t eat oatmeal cookies. No one suspected the nuts, though you can taste them.

I made these today with my kids…we all LOVED them. My four year old even liked the nuts and orange zest in the cookies.

hi Deb :) These cookies are great. I’ve made them 4 times now since I first found this recipe on your site. i’ve baked them with and without the orange zest, both very tasty but i think the zest tastes AWESOME in these cookies!
I wanted to ask you if you knew anything about shipping cookies…internationally. i’ve never shipped cookies before and i have no idea how to package or what the best method is so that they will stay fresh. If you have any advice, i would love to hear it! thank you!

Wow, these oatmeal cookies are stunning! I had been searching for a few days for a solid oatmeal cookie, and I knew I had found it when I had to wipe the drool off the side of my chin (j/k!). Anyhow, I just made these this morning and had the following substitutions: I added a little less sugar, a little less chocolate chips and only 1 cup pecans & walnuts due to underestimating what I had on hand. Next time I will add a little more oatmeal, and use the 2 cups nuts. Delicious!

Just found this website. Where have I been? I think I’ll stay here for another 12 hours. Love, love, love it.

Thanks for the recipe… I spent a while looking around for a good oatmeal-chocolate chip recipe and this is great. I add some chopped dried apricots to the mix, which I highly recommend if you’re an apricot lover.

I just made these, except I put homemade bacon in them instead of nuts!

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