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."

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.
