Instead of the oatmeal, I substitute Bob's Red Mill Old Country Style Muesli and omit the nuts. Everyone raves about these cookies!!!

These are so easy to make! I made two boxes for our Thanksgiving party, and they were a hit!

Hi, this is for babybaker...I ommitted the raisins, and used butterscotch chips instead.
No one in my house will eat raisins in cookies. I took out the nuts and split my batter, so that 1/2 had them and the other didn't - also added 1/2 tsp of vanilla and fresh rum to the whole batch and about a 1/2 tsp of cake spice. I played with it alot after making it the shown way. :-D

I want to make these cookies for my family, and I was thinking about adding white chocolate chips in place of both the nuts and frosting. I was wondering if anyone had tried this and how they turned out. Ignore my rating I just did it because it is required; I have not yet made these cookies.

I just made these cookies with my 2 sons and they are wonderful! It's hard to believe that something so easy can taste so good! I will definitely be adding this recipe to my favorites in my recipe box!

I made these and they were fantastic! The only thing that went wrong is I didnt have any oatmeal but I used flour as a substitute and they still turned out wonderfully! Everyone enjoyted them and I WILL be making them again soon. They are the perfect holiday cookie!

I'm in the process of baking these cookies at the moment and they smell incredible. To the previous reviewer. The Carrots and Raisins are included in the Duncan Hines Decadent Carrot Cake Mix. And you just open the pouch and put them in water to hydrate, because they're dehydrated carrots and raisins.

I'm loving this recipe so far and cannot wait to eat 'em all up, Yummy!!!

The recipe does not call for carrots or raisins. How do we hydrate them. If we are supose to add them, how much do we add? The directions are not understandable. Maybe that's why there is no "review" yet.

The box tells you how to hydrate them
