i have made then a couple times and they are ab fab! you should def try them out! the white chocolate makes them a bit sweeter and the salt on top is perfect!
Hi Tim!
I found your site a while back over tastepotting but only just now realized who it belonged to (felt a little like I knew somebody important). The site is beautiful and I’m hoping I can scrape a couple free hours to make every cookie recipe on here in the near future.
Yum! Oatmeal cookies are my absolute favorite and I will have to give these a try. Any tips on baking them in higher altitude? I just moved and am still trying to figure out how to bake up here near the mountains :)
T – I just made these. Amazing. But I have to admit I added chocolate chips. I couldn’t help myself. Do you think that is a travesty or does it get your stamp of approval? XO
Just found your site looking for oatmeal biscuits. These are heavenly delicious. I use Himalayan pink salt-slightly more delicate than Malden-thanks yum!
i ran across this post a while back, and finally got around to trying them about three weeks ago.
i’ve made them two more times since.
they are absurdly good, so thank you for bringing the recipe into my life.
I made these cookies last week and they were really great! Thanks for sharing another wonderful recipe. I added it to my blog using my own pictures and giving credit and a link back to your site. Hope this is okay, let me know if this is a problem :)
I’ve made these cookies lots of times, and they really are my favorite oatmeal cookie! For me they’re perfect just the way they are, without adding extra stuff, although the kiddos like chocolate chips! Just made a batch today and couldn’t figure out why the batter was so dry. Turns out I only put in one stick of butter! Dang it!
Hey sweety, this recipe is the bomb!!! My husband(very spoiled) loves these. But as a good Texas Grandma I had to add some pecans…..oh my. Also love your web site, I’ll be borrowing some more of y’all recipes. Love from Texas

Thin and crisp or thick and chewey—totally doesn’t matter. If it’s good, it’s good. The sea salt is a nice addition too!

I agree with duo dishes. I like that you used sea salt. Now you just need a drizzle of caramel over the top and it would put it over the edge!

I prefer a soft, chewy cookie but it’s nice to see a fresh variation of traditional oatmeal raisin cookies.

Those look soooooo good! I love a good and crispy oatmeal cookie and the salt would take it over the edge into awesome, I think. Yum!
