Craisins are so much better than raisins! May have to give these a try!

I always have to include white chocolate chips with craisins in cookies. The perfect combination!
Tried these exactly as the recipe specifies, and was very disappointed. The batter was very wet, and couldn’t be “rolled” into balls, and the cookies spread out very thin. They took longer to cook than the specified time. I am not a beginner at this (I’m 60), I have been cooking and baking most of my life. Sorry, but this one is not a winner.
These cookies tasted great, but they looked like flat cow pies – nothing like the picture. Was making these for a Christmas gift, but had to scrap that. I’m disappointed.
Same experience as other reviewers. Followed the recipe exactly but I got a huge spread, lacy cookies that barely hold together – taste good, look not so good. I was looking forward to a thicker cookie as pictured but these did not work out.
I made these tonight and added white chocolate chips they came out perfect and delicious
my cookies came out just like the picture, perfect!
Hi Karen! Thanks for the nice comment! We are so glad they turned out great! Thank you for stopping by our blog! 🙂
My cookies turned out just like the picture and taste delicious! My kids LOVE these cookies!
I made a batch. I only had 1 cup of oatmeal left so I had to alter the entire recipe and make half the serving size. I also added a little bit a nutmeg and cinnamon and they came out perfect and delicious and they look like the picture. I also didn’t have any Baking soda so I used 1 1/2 tsp of baking powder instead of 1/2 tsp (remember, I had to chop the entire recipe in half).
I always use only brown sugar in my baking and they came out perfect with that one modification. For fun I added almond pieces to the second batch and that really put it over the top. Making four batches because kids eating them as they come out of the oven. Perfect cross between moist and crunchy.Thanks for the great recipe!
Good recipe, they turne out really well and the kiddos (and grown ups) at work loved them. I used about half the craisins and added nuts ?
Is it possible to substitute the quick cook oatmeal withold fashion?
Hi Eileen. Old fashioned oats will work great in this recipe.
This was an easy and delicious recipe. I used wholewheat flour and the result was very satisfying.
Thank you for the recipe.
I am 67 years old, and have been cooking since I was 13 (latchkey kid). I am a BBQ pro, and breakfast is another specialty. But I have not done much bakery stuff. However, I recently made some cookies from scratch, dog biscuits really, because my Beagle has food allergies to almost everything, including every commercial dog biscuit. So I wanted to help her. Well, I learned that is was not so hard to make.
Oatmeal cookies have always been my favorite. But at the store they are always oatmeal/raisin. I like to share my cookie with my Beagle, and raisins are toxic for dogs. So I went looking for a recipe and found yours.
I followed your recipe to a “T” and when I tasted the first warm oatmeal/cranberry cookie I almost melted it was soooo delicious!!! These are the BEST oatmeal cookies I have ever tasted in my life. Thank you for posting your wonderful recipe! :))
Hi Tom, you just made our whole week!! Thanks for your sweet comment and you are amazing to cook for your dog too! We are so glad you like the Oatmeal Craisin Cookies.
Not sure why so many people had trouble with the consistency (unless they melted their butter??). These turned out perfect texture and I used old fashioned oats. I used a bout 3/4 the sugar and they were still delicious. Thanks for this recipe!
Oh my goodness these are so excellent! I softened the butter and got the eggs to room temperature. Creamed up the sugar, brown sugar, and butter well. Added the eggs one at a time, mixing well. Added the dry ingredients just like you said. I did add in 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 cup chopped walnuts. Thank you for an incredibly yummy recipe! My husband was craving oatmeal Craisins cookies and I’m so glad I looked at a bunch and picked yours. Mine look exactly like your picture does. 🤗
Hi Deb! You just made our whole week with your sweet comment. So glad you liked the cookies!! Thanks so much!
I Google searched for a recipe to help use up the ridiculous amount of craisins I had in my cupboard and chose this one. My 13 year old son made these yesterday and they turned out fabulous!
Thanks so much for letting us know!! We are so glad you liked the cookies. Have a terrific week!
