Why doesn’t this recipe use Baking powder, as other recipes for Oatmeal cookies do? What’s the difference? Also,how can I get thick cookies – like the ones Doubletree offers?

Candace, these look delicious! This is almost exactly my oatmeal cookie recipe, although I usually use walnuts instead of almonds (I’ll try this, with maybe a hit of almond extract, too?). And yes to the suggestions of chocolate, but why not dark chocolate chips? YUM!
By the way, this is my first trip to your blog, and I am BLOWN AWAY by the superb photography! Wow!! I will be back! :D

@Mrs Ergul… no, you don’t have to wait for the dough to come back to room temperature. They flatten out when they bake.

I have a question Candace. Do I have to wait for the cookie mixture to come to room temperature after chilling before baking? I was told my cookies stayed in mounds instead of spreading into thin cookies because I had not let the mixture come to room temp. before baking. Is that right?

These look great. I agree, though, with the added chocolate – just because everyone should agree with chocolate on general principles.

The second picture looks like a cookie surrounded by dead bugs, though. :(

Welcome back! Coach J is right, it inevitably happens to everyone at some point or other, no worries.

I’m definitely going to have to check out this cookbook. Almond extract is always a nice change from vanilla.

Dude, throw some white chocolate in there and I am IN!

And don’t worry about slacking. I think it happens to everyone from time to time. Welcome back to the blogosphere!
