Just ate one of these delicious cookies - I did the 2 1/2 cups oats, 1 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp salt as was suggested by one of the reviewers and used 1 cup chocolate chips - I got 48 cookies that baked to perfection for 12 minutes. I usually don't change the recipe but I wanted to experiment - which I will do the same again - great cookies - thanks so much for this recipe
