This was a wonderful recipe. I "happened" upon it, but now it is my go to cookie recipe for events and to have around the house, since my family fights over them. I substituted dried cranberries (Craisins) for the strawberries and it was delicious.

The four stars are for my version of the recipe: the original version is probably better, but I need to go low sugar. I made this with half Splenda baking mix and half Splenda brown sugar mix. I also added 3/4 cup chopped pecans instead of the strawberries and white chocolate, and toasted both the oatmeal and the nuts. I tried toasting the oats once, and now I will never again made oatmeal cookies without this step: you have to watch out because oats burn easily, but it adds a lot of flavor. The texture was a bit off, because of the substitution, but the taste was really nice, and they came together quite easily. A keeper.

Great for snacks, breakfast, dessert, road trips. I usually use semisweet chocolate, and vary the dried fruit. You can reduce the sugar a little - about one-fourth cup - and still come out great.

I am not a good baker. I was expecting these to turn out burnt, flat, and tasteless - due to my own lack of ability. I was pleasantly surprised! These were so easy to make. I followed the recipe exactly - except I used dark chocolate and dried cherries. They were soft, chewy and tasty. I will absolutely be making theses again. BUT this recipe did not make many cookies - I think I got 16 cookies. So will need to double the recipe if making for a party or holiday or something.

YUMMY! Was super quick to mix using my Kitchenaid mixer. Used a mix of cherries raisins blueberries and cranberries from Trader Joe's which was great! Will make again and next time double it. I got 20 cookies but wasn't being too precise. :-)

I LOVED this recipe. I made it for a wine tasting and did not substitute any ingredients. Usually with cooking light recipes I don't get as many cookies out of the batch as they say, but I ended up getting more. If you make the small cookies, cut the cooking time. I found about 7.5 minutes was enough for the cookies. I also baked them on parchment paper.

This recipe prompted me to join myrecipes.com...because of this great recipe find!! The cookie is absolutely outstanding in taste, texture, and diet. We used dried cranberries with shreaded chocolate and loved them...I consider them a really healthy treat as well! I recommend you make them plumper when baking. They will stay nice and chewy.

THESE COOKIES ARE SO GOOD! I love how unique the flavor combination is too. They taste wonderful, but mine never look like the picture. That doesn't matter though the taste makes up for it. I find the dried strawberries at Super Target (they can be hard to find)

There is an upscale grocery store near me that carries the dried strawberries so I was able to stick to the recipe. These are some of the best cookies I have ever eaten. Will be a new "regular!"

I couldn't find strawberries, so I made these with orange-flavored cranberries instead. They were gone as soon as they were out of the oven!

These cookies are wonderful! I added about 1/3 cup chopped pecans for a little crunch. Other than that I followed the recipe to a tee. I had 25 delicious cookies! Will make again.

Exactly as described: crispy and light. We made no changes except using dried cranberries in place of the suggested dried strawberries. Cookies turned out perfect at 12 minutes! So delicious!!

What a great way to step up my husband's favorite oatmeal cookies. Used the mixed dried mangos and berries from Costco. It had mangos(which I cut into small pieces with kitchen shears) strawberries and blueberries. That was the only substitution made. I doubled the recipe for a cookie exchange and manged to get 60 cookies.

These cookies are absolutely wonderful. I went all over in search of dried strawberries and couldn't find them, so I used Craisins cherry flavored (2/3 cup) I reduced the baking time to 9 minutes as others suggested and they are perfect. I used a tablespoon for dropping them onto cookie sheet and got exactly 24 cookies, can't wait to make them again!

I actually got 30 out of this, but they are a little on the smaller side. (It would help if I would read directions and know that I should be targeting 24 cookies instead of 32). Anyway, I used 2/3 cup of Craisins, and decreased the brown sugar to 2/3 cup. I baked them for about 8 minutes. They're soooo good.

These cookies are my go to quick fix. They are versatile and I typically use dried mixed berries because dried strawberries are hard to find. At Christmas time I use dried cranberries. Recently I used a combination of raisins, nuts and dried berries to make a trail mix version. These were a BIG hit. I tried using chocolate chips once, but did not like the outcome. The white chocolate chips are what makes the cookies sweet because there isn't a lot of sugar in the dough.

Great cookie. I used dried cranberries because that is what I had. I think that I will use a little less next time though.

I couldn't find dried strawberries so I used dried strawberries instead. They turned out really well and my friends seemed to really enjoy them.

I didn't like these, but my dad did. They seemed pretty sweet and spread out too much. Were chewy, though....I didn't have dried strawberries and used fresh strawberries. This is probably why the cookies were too flat. Recommend sticking to dried fruit.

I absolutely love these cookies. I can't ever find dried strawberries, so I sub dried cranberries, and I think the more tart flavor actually improves the cookie. My only issue with the recipe is that my cookies are always done in 7 minutes with very brown undersides, so watch the cooking time carefully.

This is a great recipe. I cut the butter even more and used applesauce instead. I used whole wheat flour, cut the sugar by a quarter cup and used chocolate chips and walnuts instead of white choc and strawberries since I didn't have either on hand. Great recipe with some edits - company loved the cookies and couldn't tell they were lowfat!!!

I think this is a great cookie. I am watching my cholesterol so I subs. egg beaters for the egg. In addition I subs. dried cherries for the strawberries and dark chocolate chips for the white and added 1/4c. almonds. Love them!! Will make again for sure, I like the fact the batch was small, less for me to eat:)

FAQs

Why are my homemade oatmeal cookies hard? ›

Overbaking is the most common cause of hard oatmeal cookies. Cookies continue to cook on the baking sheet even after they're removed from the oven, so try taking them out when they're just lightly golden and still a bit soft in the middle. They'll firm up as they cool, resulting in a chewier texture.

What is the purpose of baking soda in oatmeal cookies? ›

BAKING SODA: When baking soda is combined with an acid, like the cocoa powder, baking powder, and brown sugar in this recipe, it produces carbon dioxide, which helps the cookie dough rise and eventually spread. It also helps the cookies caramelize, raising the pH level in the dough for peak browning.

Why are my oatmeal cookies not soft? ›

Oatmeal cookies require more moisture to stay soft. Consider adding an extra egg yolk or a touch of milk to your dough to enhance moisture content.

Why are my oatmeal chocolate chip cookies dry? ›

There are several reasons why the cookies may have become dry and crumbly but the two most likely are that either the cookies were baked for too long or too much flour was added to the dough. The cookie should be baked only until the edges are slightly golden and the top looks a little wrinkled.

What is the secret ingredient to keep cookies soft? ›

If you enjoy your cookies soft and chewy, chances are likely the recipe contains a common ingredient that serves a very specific purpose. No, it's not granulated sugar, nor the butter. It's not the egg, all-purpose flour, or even the vanilla extract. The simple, yet oh-so-necessary component is cornstarch.

What ingredient makes cookies harder? ›

Baking powder

Baking powder contains sodium bicarbonate and acidic salts. The reaction of these two ingredients results in a cookie that is soft and thick, but slightly harder.

What makes cookies fluffier baking soda or baking powder? ›

Baking soda is generally about three times stronger than baking powder, so adjust your recipe accordingly. Baking soda and baking powder can produce cookies with different textures. Baking soda is typically used for chewy cookies, while baking powder is generally used for light and airy cookies.

What does brown sugar do in cookies? ›

Brown sugar, meanwhile, is dense and compacts easily, creating fewer air pockets during creaming—that means that there's less opportunity to entrap gas, creating cookies that rise less and spread more. With less moisture escaping via steam, they also stay moist and chewy.

What happens if I forget the baking soda in my oatmeal cookies? ›

If you don't have baking soda, you can use baking powder, at three times what the recipe calls for. So if a recipe calls for one teaspoon of baking soda, you can use three teaspoons of baking powder. Baking powder also contains a little bit of salt, so it's also a good idea to halve the salt the recipe calls for.

How do you moisten oatmeal cookie dough? ›

Dry – “Dry” or “Crumbly” dough is a product of over-mixing or using too much of any ingredient during the mixing process. This can be reversed by adding one to two tablespoons of liquid (water, milk or softened butter) to your mix.

How do you keep oatmeal cookies chewy? ›

Keep Them Sealed

The key to keeping cookies fresh and soft is to seal them in an airtight container, like a resealable freezer bag. And here's a nifty little trick: add a piece of bread to the bag. You might think that the bread trick works because the cookies absorb moisture from the bread.

Why are my oatmeal cookies always flat? ›

Oven temperatures are a crucial factor in baking. If your cookies consistently come out flat, you may have selected the wrong baking temperature. If you bake cookies using too much heat, the fats in the dough begin to melt before the other ingredients can cook together and form your cookie's rise.

Can I add an extra egg to cookie dough? ›

They are about 75% moisture, 12% protein, 10% fat and 2ish % sugar. The white provides strength, stability and moisture. Yolks, where all of the fat is in an egg, increase richness, tenderness and flavor. Therefore, if you put an extra egg, you will get a chewier cookie.

What makes cookies fluffy and not flat? ›

Room temperature butter is just the right consistency to incorporate air when it's creamed with sugar. These trapped air pockets result in risen, fluffy cookies. If the butter is any warmer, it won't incorporate enough air and your cookies will have less rise.

Why do my cookies get hard after they cool? ›

Cookies become hard when the moisture in them evaporates. This can be caused by leaving them out in the air for too long, baking them for too long, or storing them improperly.

How do you fix hard oatmeal cookies? ›

The easiest way to soften cookies with bread is to place the cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread and leave them for a few hours. The bread will release moisture and help to rehydrate the cookies, making them soft and chewy once again.

How do you soften homemade oatmeal cookies? ›

The best way to soften up those hard cookies is something you probably already have in your kitchen… bread! That's right, a piece of fresh bread will make those tough treats soft and chewy.

How do you make oatmeal cookies soft again? ›

Just wrap a cookie or two in a damp paper towel and then put them in the microwave for about 10 to 15 seconds. The moisture from the paper towel should soften the cookies right up. So if you wonder how to soften hard cookies quickly? Microwave is the way!

Why are my cookies hard instead of chewy? ›

Ever accidentally bake a batch of cookies for too long, only to find that they were crunchy and hard instead of soft and chewy? The opposite goes for under-baking. Pull your cookies out of the oven a minute or two early (while the centers are still gooey).
