Easy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

"These are delicious cookies that are super-quick to make when you need to satisfy a cookie fix. Even my non-cooking roommates know how to make them, so we have these about once a week.. they never last for more than 24 hours. Try adding coconut, nuts, other dried fruit, etc..."

  1. The cookies were soo easy to make and soo yummy. Freeze them and make them later. They'll still taste good! I'll never use any other recipe!!
     
  2. These were good and easy cookies. I found, though, that they were rather flat and they only needed 10 minutes, as anything more made them brown and get to toasted. The second batch I made I used margarine, as opposed to butter and added one egg. This helped tremendously as the cookies stayed more formed.
     
  3. These were awesome! I made them after they were recommended in one of the chat threads. I ran out of butter so I had to use butter-flavored Crisco, and I added about a half cup of flaked coconut. Kept the chocolate chips also. These were easy to make and very yummy!!! Thanks for the recipe!
     
  4. Ohhhh my god, these are FABULOUS!!! And so incredibly easy that I'm gonna make this all the time! I halved the recipe (sigh, foolish really, coz I'm gonna hafta make this real soon going by how fast they're disappearing!), used butter, and omitted the vanilla which I was out of. I baked the first batch for 15 minutes, and the second for 20 minutes, which was just right, I think. pollen, thank you so much for this! I think the best part (besides the melt-in-your-mouth texture) is that it doesn't use eggs!
     
  5. I had no problem making these and certainly no problem consuming them!! With a small investment in time you get far better results making these cookies than buying them.

  1. I put some coconut in them ?? yummy.you can smell the through out the whole apt.
     
  2. These were pretty easy!! I used margarine and brownulated sugar instead of brown sugar. I made them for my sister-in-law, and she couldn't stop raving about them; she said she would have given them a hundred stars! Someone else said that they would be five stars "without the nuts," which I think meant the oats... They did take a bit longer than 15 minutes to bake. I got thirty cookies out of the recipe. Thanks for posting!
     
  3. i also added an egg after reading the reviews. instead of chocolate chips, i used butterscotch chips. YUM!!
