YUM! These were scrumptious! Thought is was odd that there were no eggs in them, but it didn't affect the recipe at all. They were so chewy and delish! Good thing I only made 1/2 a batch as I would have been eating way more! LOL! :) Thanks for sharing!

Diner these are the best oatmeal cookies ever. I got calls from my family and friends raving about these delicious cookies. Kudos to you my friend. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe. They were quick and easy to make with terrific results. The chocolate drizzle completely takes these babies over the edge. They are crisp, yet tender and chewy, just the perfect texture for me. I will be making these again often. I am already getting requests from my neighbors.

OUTSTANDING COOKIES, THESE, & I particularly appreciated the nice little chocolate fix I got! Thought about sharing them with my son & DIL, but since the cookies were ready & waiting for all of 24 hours BEFORE they showed up, I'm sorry to say there were none left for the poor kids! Ah, well, I'll just have to make more of them, I guess, & hope that this time . . . ! I really enjoyed making these great tasties & will be keeping the recipe on hand ~ Many thanks for sharing it!

Honestly, I'm too lazy to make up and drizzle cookies lol Also, I'm not much of a sweets person. But the thought of chocolate that wasn't chocolate chips in oatmeal cookies intrigued me so i added 1 tbs of cocoa to the batter.... YUM!

These were good little cookies that were easy to whip up. I had chocolate frosting I wanted to use up so I frosted the cookies and pressed another one on top for a cookie sandwich. Thanks for a great snack.
