I loved this recipe! However is it possible to make half a recipe for personal consumption? Without altering the cookie taste and texture? 🙂

I was disappointed in this recipe, which is surprising because typically the recipes on this site are a godsend! I followed the instructions and weighed all of my dry ingredients. My butter and eggs were at the appropriate temperature. I soaked and thoroughly dried the raisins. But, the 40 minutes it chilled in the refrigerator wasn’t nearly enough, even though my kitchen was 68°. My cookies spread quite a bit and cooked unevenly as a result. The taste is underwhelming — the raisins’ sweetness was diluted and there wasn’t much contrast in the dough’s flavor.

I’m sorry — I really do love your recipes in general. I’m just not sure what went wrong here.

Wow these turned out incredible, such a great recipe! I ran out of both butter and oats (lol), so I used half butter and half coconut oil, and half oats and half rye flakes. They turned out amazing even with these substitutions. The walnuts are the best part — totally mandatory in my book. Thanks!

everybody loves these cookies. Even if you don’t like raisins, you will love these. I think it’s the molasses!!!

I just made these cookies and they are so moist. Per another commentors suggestion, I soaked the raisins and also soaked, rinsed and let sit the oatmeal before mixing everything. I didn’t have walnuts but that would have made it even better. The 1Tbsp Molasses and not overcooking made these so good. Thanks for the recipe.

I used Becel margarine and the cookies were delicious
