Delicious cookie! Making the recipe as is makes a lot of dough. It was almost too much for my professional kitchen aid! I used Valentine colored M&M's w/ Chocolate chips and left out the Hershey bar since I had no clue what to do with it since it wasn't in the ingredients and the directions weren't very clear. Will definitely make again, but perhaps half at a time! -
These were delicious! First of all, I'm Vegan so I had to substitute a lot of ingredients. First the butter, I used Earth Balance (vegan margarine), then Ener-G (egg replacer), Turbinado (sugar crystals non-alkali), and dairy free choco-chips. Phew! I baked 3 large cookies first and they came out soft and chewy. Then I baked 10 small cookies. Depending on the size, you either leave them in for the time posted or shorter. I ended up cooking all 10 for too long so they were hard. We ate them anyway because all you gotta do is nuke them in the microwave and they'll get a tad softer. Again, great recipe! -
This was reallly good but they spread a lot because we didnt't put the cookies far enough on the pan and are pan was to small. But the cookies were delicious! -
BIG hit with the kiddos. My kids and even nieces and nephews who are not used to my sneaky chef baking gobbled them up! I used almost 1/2 whole wheat flour with some oat bran too. I used m&m's and no nuts. Glad I saw the recipe.

My husband and kids really liked these. I used M&M's and mini chocolate chips, and added some oat bran and ground flax. I halved the recipe and still got nearly 4 dozen cookies.

these are very good. i have some sneaky ways to give these cookies a bit more nutritional value: substitute 1c. oat bran for one of the cups of ground oats; add in about a cup of ground flaxseed; use 4-5 egg whites and only one full egg; cut the sugars in HALF; substitute earth balance or smart balance for most of the butter (use just a few T. of regular butter for that flavor). i used all of these substitutions tonight and the cookies were still out of this world! it doesn't turn these into health food - but it can significantly reduce the saturated fat, sugar,& cholesterol content, add in essential fats, and give each cookie more dietary fiber and protein. even if you don't use any of these substitutions, i would still recommend reducing the sugars in this recipe. even with half the sugar, i thought these were exceptionally sweet cookies. also - this recipe is for a very large batch. i have made this several times, and the most efficiant way to do it is to make the cookie dough, bake about 2 dozen, and roll the rest of the dough into balls and freeze them on wax paper in large zipper-seal bags for future use. then - when you need a great batch of cookies as a gift (or as a midnight snack) you can just pop them onto a cookie sheet and bake them as directed.
