Nice flavor in a cookie. I did find that they flattened out completely which I found strange as I left them in mounds on the sheets before baking. They are totally soft too which is deceiving as the cookies look like they would be crisp being so flat. I'm thinking next time of bulking them out with a bit less butter and maybe a few more oats to help them hold their shape. Outside of all this though the flavor is wonderful and it is not stopping my family from gobbling them up! Made for Went to the Market Tag Game.

I baked the cookies only 10 minutes. They are so yummy. I used only 1 cup of chocolate chips. I may try it again without the chocolate. Thanks Nif :) Made for PRMR tag game
