Chocolate is king of all desserts so your logic is flawed. The LAW is:

Dessert with chocolate > dessert with no chocolate

All future opinions from the OP and anyone that agrees with him are rendered invalid.

Truth. 🙂


Store bought or mass produced, oatmeal raisin usually wins out.
Homemade, chocolate chip cookies will beat oatmeal raisin any day.

Yes, indeedie! :thumbsup:


meh...chocolate chip and oatmeal with raisin take a back seat to the king of cookies...

Gentlemen...I present you with PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES!

(and yes, those are home-made chocolate chip cookies as well)

Yup, even Peanut Butter Cookies > Oatmeal Raisin!

Here's mine. 😉

O hell no. I hate when I bite into wat I think is a chocolate chip cookie and find out its oatmeal raisin. Disgusting.

Ohmygod yes, I know the feeling. Such a huge letdown. 🙁
 
Walnuts?! Walnuts are nasty and especially in cookies. Now pecans, they're deeelicious.

no walnuts are perfectly fine

pistachios however are particulary disgusting

a good mixed nut and double chocolate chip cookie would be amazing with some milk
 
Truth. 🙂

Those cookies look delicious...except for the ones that have been contaminated with chocolate...😛
 
You sir, are a monster. :colbert:

You can take all the raisins in the world and kindly go rot in hell. Or, if you prefer, you can return - so long as not a single raisin is spared. You better not return unless you have ridden the world of raisins.


You're among the kind of people that are so wrong for this world, they put raisins in their fried ice cream, raisins in their oatmeal cookies, raisins in their bread pudding, raisins in their cinnamon bread goods, and countless other divine foods that your kind feels should be brought down a billion pegs. When does the madness stop?
 
White chocolate chip and/or butterscotch chip cookies (with coconut).

No nuts in cookies needed. Ever.

Oatmeal is good for breakfast; not so much in cookies.
 
Don't know how someone can say any homemade cookie by someone who knows what they are doing is nasty.

Well if that person knew what they were doing, they wouldn't put raisins into their homemade cookie.
I cannot call such a cookie anything other than nasty, even if baked by the most awarded cookie baker in all the land.

There are many disgusting cookies, even if baked personally, for you, by the top bakers in the world.

WRONG

nuts, any and all of them RUIN confections

nuts belong in a bowl of other nuts and trail mix, thats about it. Not in cookies, not in brownies and definitely not in a salad
 
I love Macadamia's if they are made right and most nuts in general, but for some reason I've never been a Walnut fan other then it makes good wood for furniture myself.

My wife is a cookie maniac, she and the place she works at passes out new recipes on a regular basis, and they rarely have nuts involved I'd have to say.

If I'm eating Cashews or Pistachios or something I'd rather have them stand alone myself.

I'd say Almonds in cookies I like though.

*shrug*
 
There are a lot of really twisted people in this thread, man. Oatmeal raisin cookies shouldn't even be a thing, much less be listed as better than chocolate chip.

They're doing wonderful things in mental health these days, folks. You don't have to live like this...

I'm with this guy.


Except, for the most part, macadamia nuts in white chocolate cookies, if only because they are such a tender nut they kind of blend in.

Never had an almond in a cookie. But otherwise I agree. Not a fan of walnuts or pecans (these are in baked goods FAR FAR too often as well -ugh), but most other nuts I can happily eat on their own. Don't you dare mix them into soft foods though.

I make some rather tasty oatmeal raisin cookies. Although, I do prefer mine to be larger and puffy versus thin and flat. However, the worst crime was when I bought some oatmeal raisin cookies from the store, and they were hard as a rock. There ought to be a law against that! D:
 
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

I always add more cinnamon and at least an additional half cup of raisins. Use a heaping teaspoon for each cookie. They come out small, high and soft.

SIFT:
2 CUPS FLOUR
1 TSP BAKING SODA
1 TSP SALT
1 ½ TSP CINNAMON

ADD
2 CUPS OATMEAL (I use old fashioned oats not quick oats)
½ CUP BROWN SUGAR
½ CUP SUGAR
1 CUP CRISCO
2 EGGS
1/3 CUP MILK or BUTTERMILK (I always use buttermilk)
1 TSP VANILLA
1 CUP RAISINS
¾ CUP WALNUTS

DROP ON GREASED COOKIE SHEET

BAKE AT 375° FOR 12 MINUTES – DO NOT OVERBAKE

It's an old, old recipe so I try to use ingredients as close to what would have been available at the time. I bake them on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
