These cookies are the best. My husband raves about these cookies and he cant stop eating them. They were fairly simple to make and I had all the ingredients on hand. The recipe only makes about 2 dozen but these are large cookies and very chocolatey. You wont be disappointed.

These were terrible. Way to dry, I think it is to much flour.

Hi there! We're sorry to hear that you did not like this recipe. If you do decide to give this recipe another chance (We hope you do!), we recommend making sure that you've used the correct amount of oats and measure the 1/2 cup before grinding the oats. We hope that you give this recipe another chance, it's a Test Kitchen favorite!

These were delicious! My Mother-in-Law even said they were the best chocolate chip cookies she's ever had! I made them as directed except for 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon, pecans instead of walnuts, and left the oats as is, unground. They made 21 huge, delicious cookies! D

Made these twice now, I don't grind the oats, the first time I made them with 2 cups of milk choc chips and 1cup of raisins. yummy. The second time I made them with 2 cups of semi sweet chips and 1 cup of milk choc caramel chips. Both times they tasted great and everyone loves them. Their comment is the same (Now this is what I call a cookie). Needless to say they go fast!

The recipe looks easy. I like the fact that it includes oatmeal. I might add a little more cinnamon to my recipe.

Sounds good, but I would have to replace the walnuts with pecans. Walnuts burn my tongue badly for 3-4 days. I like the taste of pecans better anyway.

Would it be possible for you to list the nutritional contents for this recipe?

Using an online recipe calculator, I figured this out for you...per 1/20 of a recipe, (so one cookie, I assume,): Calories, 393. Total fat, 24g. Saturated fat, 11g. Cholesterol 43mg. Sodium*, 245mg. Potassium, 203mg. Total carbs, 48. Fiber carbs, 3. Protein, 5g. * Re: Sodium, I went with unsalted butter, since that's what most recipes call for. The walnuts did not give an salted or unsalted option, neither in the recipe nor the website calculator, so that adds an element of uncertainty. Hope this help!
