Hmmm…it sounds like you might have added too much of something along the way (like flour?). Or omitted an ingredient.

I made these but mine didn’t spread at all!!
What did I do wrong? Should I have used more butter?

These cookies really are a classic and hard to beat, but I think I may like the Betty Crocker recipe, which uses all brown sugar, and results in a slightly chewier cookie, a bit more.

I thought they were called “Vanishing Oatmeal” because the recipe calls for a lot of oats, so your supply of oats “vanishes”

This is the recipe I always use, too. I agree with your idea of refrigerating the dough. The last time I made these, I was in a hurry and didn't do that, and the first pan spread way too much. On the next pan, I upped the temperature to 375 degrees F, and that seemed to keep them from spreading quite so much (the outsides set faster, I think).

Oh, wonderful! I’m so glad. I’m sure the chocolate chips made them even better – I’m known to get in a “chippy mood” every now and again too.

O just fab.I'm always game for a good oatmeal cookie, & this is very much what I'm craving. I like to add dried cranberries,walnuts & crystallised ginger to mine at times, & dark chocolate chips at other times! deeba’s last blog post..SWEET TIMES WITH SWISS ROLLS - STRAWBERRIES
