Oh boy, this recipe is a KEEPER!
I made it as written, with exception of adding chocolate chips and walnuts. They took about 14 minutes to bake. My neighbor or is an oatmeal cookie aficionado and he declared them “excellent”! I think so, too. I used the exact sugars in recipe and loved that they are just right on sweetness. White granulated sugar leaves an aftertaste, so I really like the coconut sugar and (darker) cane sugar.

Just made these for the second time. Used avocado and some olive oil instead of butter, cut down on the coconut sugar (to 75%), used brown sugar instead of cane sugar and added raisins. Also cut down on the nutmeg by half the second time, as I thought it was a bit too strong for my taste the first time. They turn out great, crunchy on the outside, softer in the middle, and not too sweet which is how we like our cookies! Thanks for a great, healthy recipe!!

In reply to Irene. Great recipe! I know someone who can not have cane sugar and I substituted it for 2 tablespoons of 100% pure maple sugar. They are delicious!

Usually love all of C+K recipes but not this one! Flat as a pancake. Definitely something wrong with the recipe. Tried making twice, the second time I placed the dough in the fridge to stiffen up a bit, room temp butter (not melty) and made sure not to overmix. Both times, flat as a pancake and crumbly. Left them out overnight to dry and used as granola instead. At least not a complete waste of quality ingredients!

These are SO GOOD! (Honestly I’ve never made a bad recipe from cookie and kate) I used a mixture of coconut sugar, the 2T cane sugar and date sugar. They came out fluffy, crisp edges and chewy centers. Mine baked up fairly tall. We added raisins too. Great simple recipe that I made with my toddler. YUM!
