Oatmeal and chocolate chips just go together naturally. I cut the recipe in half and still got a heap of cookies. These are so darn good they can stand alone as dessert!! Next time I'll add extra cinnamon though. Thanks Laudee C.

Laudee, you should have seen me...I read, 'I use my KitchenAid mixer for these' and I thought, 'Well, I always use my KitchenAid for cookies.' ...and I proceeded, never giving it it thought 'how very many cookies this recipe would make'...who looks at numbers anyway?! Obviously NOT ME! ...'cause I also 'auto-doubled' It was too late to back up by the time I realized what I was doing, so I kept going... I ended up having to mix in the last '7' cups of flour by hand (poured the cookie dough into my big stew kettle) and folding the chocolate chips in at the end. I thought I was baking cookies forevvvvvveeeeeerrrrr...
These are really good. I agree with someone else that the flavor could be stronger. The house was filled with the smell of cinnamon, but they seem to only hint at having any cinnamon in them...we all love cinnamon! DH really liked them but asked why I shortchanged on the chocolate chips so much (yes, I doubled the chocolate chips too), so next time I will add at least twice as many chocolate chips, possibly more. In the instructions you had mentioned these rise as opposed to spreading out, so I was expecting a chewy cookie, but was not unpleasantly surprised when they turned out to be more of a cake-type cookie. They are very similar to a recipe I've been trying to find for years. The lady who use to make them has long since passed away and being an 'invincible teen' at the time, I never thought to ask her for the recipe. Texture-wise these are a perfect fit and the flavor is almost there. With a little tweeking I think I'll have it. Thank you for sharing these Laudee!!!

These are a really solidly good cookie. They smell wonderful coming out of the oven, but the taste is not as strong as the smell. I would make these again, but only after I had a chance to try all the other new recipes I have.

These cookies are AMAZING!! I don't like chocolate chips so I leave those out, but holy crap they are good. I cook a big batch and then freeze them in baggies so I can pull out two and pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds. The only thing I had a problem with is the temperature of the oven. I have to lower it to 350 or the bottoms of my cookies start to burn.

I had to halve the recipe too, or I would have eaten them all! This recipe is unusually good. I loved the chocolate, of course, but the cinnamon and cloves were a must. All worked together for a great taste.
Laudee, thanks for sharing your recipe. These cookies deserve 5 stars!

These were great. Thanks for all the tips everyone. I halved the recipe and added an extra handful of choco chips and a tad more cinnamon. Also, I had everything in the bowl and realized I didn't have any cloves. Substituted all-spice instead and they turned out fantastic.

These are so delicious! As suggested, I added a touch more cinnamon that required and I also added a pinch of mace. My kids love chocolate chips so added about 2 cups instead of just one. I really like the texture of this cookie as it was so different from any other oatmeal cookies that I have tried before. In another review, it was described as "cake-type" and I would have to agree with that. Thanks for this great recipe! It is sure to become a favorite around here!
