Sooooo delicious. These cookies are awesome! It's so refreshing to find an oatmeal cookie that can stand up on it's own without the addition of raisins.
5 stars for sure. I love making cookies and this reipe is a keeper. I did half the recipe and chopped up milk chocolate kisses ghiradella semi sweet chocolate and some nice dark chocolate. It was a nice treat to go all out and use the good chocolates for these cookies. I'm sure using average chocolate would still make a great cookie. I did cream the butter and sugars then added the egg and vanilla and gradually added in the flour mixture with blended oatmeal. I dropped by heaping tbsp onto sheets(didn't flatten with a fork) and needed to bake for 9 minutes and they were perfect. 6-8 minutes and they were too raw and not ready to come out yet. Thanks!
I made the full recipe because I needed lots of cookies for Easter; I made the recipe as directed except adding another half teaspoon of vanilla and about half a teaspoon of salt (it's really important). Because of the chips I used I also used about 3/4 tsp almond extract. I used a cup of cherry chips a cup of raspberry chips and 2 cups of bittersweet chocolate chips. These were full of chips so I skipped the german chocolate chunks on top. I made good-sized golfball scoops of dough and the cookies spread just enought without spreading into each other so they maintained a good thickness. I found I had to bake them for about 9 minutes though and my oven bakes hot so I think I must have made the cookies a bit bigger than recommended. The ground oats give a really nice texture and subtle nutty taste to the cookie. I really like the dough and think you can use the dough as a good base for several different kinds of cookies. On another note I used my kitchenaid mixer and the cookie dough really almost overflowed so be aware of that; I might make it in halves next time.
These were OK but I thought they were too sweet. I'll probably make these again but I think I'll cut down on the sugar a little and use all dark chocolate chips no milk chocolate. Also I cut the recipe in half and it still made a ton of cookies.
Amazing cookies...makes a huge amount...next time will cut recipe in half...this is absolutely a keeper...my daughter's been baking...we've been eating...YUM!!!
These came out great! Halved the recipe. Just used some milk choc chips and some semisweet. Baked for 9 mins. I think I would give 5 stars if they had a teeny crunch to them or something - but they are really good as is soft and almost fluffy. I used a bit less sugar than it called for the flavor is yummy.
WOWSERS!! I have pitched my old chocolate chip cookie recipe and am keeping this one! I did 1/2 a batch and used 12 oz. dark chocolate chips and 6 oz. milk chocolate chips. Absolutely killer cookies!
These are delicious. Soft and chewy from the ground up oatmeal. I usually half the recipe and bake for 11min. I think my oven is a little on the cooler side but I think would require minimum 9-11 minutes baking time or it will be too raw. I might add some chopped up walnuts for some added crunch to contrast the soft chewey cookie.
Very chewy and soft. I will probably be making these again over other chocolate chip oatmeal cookie recipes I have.
