Fantastic cookies!!! I didn't make the big cookies, as it was just for us at home. I made 9 cookies without the pecans (for DS) and then about 2 dozen with the works. Loved all the different textures and flavors from the oats, nuts and different flavored chips. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for Please Review My Recipe Tag Game.
