Big Batch Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Submitted by Margie99

"This has chocolate chips and a grated chocolate bar. It makes a huge batch of cookies. You could make some now and save some batter for later by rolling it into a log, wrapping it well and freezing it."

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Beat butter, brown sugar and sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth.
2. Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder salt and oatmeal into a small bowl. Add to creamed mixture and mix until well combined. Sti r in chocolates chips, grated chocolate and nuts.

This recipe should be taken down. I asked for a recipe to make 60 cookies and I got 127 cookies. Not to mention the dough had to be divided twice it was so dense my kitchen aid could not mix it. My husband also had a hard time mixing it. The author did not seem to know what she was doing. Margaret Critchlow

Cookies taste great when you reduce both sugars by 1/4 c. So 1 3/4 for White sugar 1 3/4 c for Brown sugar You can taste the oatmeal in the cookies, not the sugar. Very good recipe!

Too much sugar, cut the recipe in quarters, and do not use mini chocolate chips.<br/>This recipe stinks

Yummy cookies!!! I made these today, although decreased the amount to 1/4 of the recipe. I still got 34 cookies using my normal cookie scoop, so if I made the full amount I would have 136 cookies, lol!! I am sure my DS and his girlfriend will be enjoying these tonite after dinner. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for Holiday Tag Game.
