We made 1/2 quantity for my daughter to take to school. Unfortunately as there are several nut allergies, we were slightly restricted in our ingredient choice. However, we used Fruit & Fibre cereal (minus the nuts) and Golden Nuggets cereal, in place of the nuts and cornflakes. Not sure how many we will have left to take to school tomorrow! Yummy!

Oh my, these were a hit. They are so tasty with all the different ingredients - and the corn flakes add a wonderful crunch! The spices make these cookies delicious, and are perfect for fall!

owh they look lush ! i wish to make this recipe tonight ! i wanted to know if i can leave out the flaked coconut ? the cookies wont go wrong would they ? or will i have to use a substitute like desiccated coconut ?

These tasted great and the dough is very easy to work with. It is also easy to make changes and still have the cookies come out beautifully. I took the suggestion of others and used extra nutmeg instead of mace since I didn't have any. I only had 2 cups of rolled oats on hand so I added an extra cup of cornflakes. I made them a little larger and baked for 12 minutes. My husband, who normally doesn't care for anything too sweet, ate most of the first couple of batches. Thanks for a great recipe; I will definitely make these again.

Everybody loved these cookies. I did not have mace, so used nutmeg instead as per other reviews. Also used chopped pecans instead of walnuts since that's all I had. I halved the batter and stirred in chocolate chips and M&Ms in one half and in the other used craisens and white chocolate chips. The latter was my favorite by far, but of course the kids preferred the choc. chips and M&Ms. GREAT RECIPE!

These are excellent! I'm so glad I found this recipe!

What a wonderful cookie. It tastes like a chewy chocolate bar. I added the cinnamon but only 1/8 tsp each of cloves and allspice - no other spices. The result was a mild hint of spice. My family find walnuts too bitter so I used pecans and rice krispie cereal insead of corn flakes. They went fast and this recipe has now made the rounds of the neighbourhood.

I followed the recipe exactly and they are quite tasty. But they came out really flat, I'm not sure why. Perhaps I will try again with more flour or something.

Great recipe! I added another half a cup of flour and brought down the baking soda just a smidge after reading the rest of these reviews. Used white chocolate chips in one batch and peanut butter chocolate chips in another. Almonds instead of walnuts and rice krispy cereal instead of cornflakes in another batch. Also made another batch with raisins. This recipe makes quite alot of cookies which leaves the margin for imagination very wide. Tried a few things and these cookies were amazing every time. Very chewy and are an instant hit!

I made 2 batches of these for a Christmas party and went home with none. Everybody else really liked them. They were just too sweet for me.

Good cookies! I omitted all spices except cinnamon and used m&m's for the chocolate chips. Had to bake for 14 min and cookies did flatten- may try adding a bit of extra flour next time like some of the other reviews suggest. Very good flavor!

These were interesting... tasted almost like a gingerbread or molasses cookie at first bite because of all the spices, but the rest of the ingredients added a strange twist.

This is now my family's new favorite cookie! I followed the recipe except for the mace and walnuts, which I left out. They were delicious and the recipe makes a nice big batch!

These were rather good. I substituted 1/8 tsp nutmeg for mace and I substituted pecans for walnuts. The coconut couldn't be tasted, so the cookie rather resembled a chocolate-chip oatmeal cookie. Next time I will add more coconut and extra chocolate chips. Friends and family enjoyed these cookies.

This recipe got many raved reviews. The cereal added a welcomed texture. No need to buy mace just for this recipe (it's not a common staple around here). Adding an extra 1/8 t. of nutmeg worked just fine. Due to family preference, the dough was split in half at the end and 1/2 cup of pecans was added to one half and 1/2 cup of raisins to the other half (no walnuts were added to either half). It may seem odd to have all these ingredients together (especially the spices and the chocolate) but somehow (and quite well) this recipe works. Try it, if you like oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

A few alterations: I halved the mace (based on a lot of reviews but next time I'll put in the recommended), ommited nutmeg, used whole wheat flour, and used flax corn flake cereal. I had tons of people come up to me to comment on how yummy the cookies were. I would make these again!

yummy
