"Easy to make but very, very good and extremely popular with kids and teens. An old standby around here that is worthy of its reputation. (And yes, they do contain 1 cup of oil)"

Very quick and easy to put together, makes a lot. You probably have everything you need to make them at home right now. Slightly oily consistency that bothered me more than other people.

Quick, easy, tasty! No electric mixer necessary.

I would say this recipe is a good cookie, and give it four stars. But, for sheer ease and speed, this recipe gets 5+ stars in my book! 1 bowl, 1 spoon, 1 measuring cup, 1 measuring spoon, a pan, and 20 minutes and you have over two dozen cookies that will last (at my house) only slightly longer than it took to make them. Love it! Thanks Marg. P. S. You've inspired Recipe #335465. Thanks!

What a great and simple after-school snack! I have 5 teenagers at a group home that my husband and I are houseparents at and they just devoured this. I'm always on the lookout for easy snacks for these guys and boy this hit the spot! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!

These were easy to make and a bar cookie always takes less time than other types of cookies. It was a little on the oily side, even though I subbed half the oil with applesauce. Really can't imagine using the full 1 cup of oil! Unlike another reviewer, I didn't find the batter difficult to mix by hand. They took around 20+ minutes to bake even though I used the jelly pan. Flavor and texture was similar to heavy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Thanks!
