Questions & Replies

  1. We had a cookie bake and my sister was assigned this cookie. The dough was so thick and I thought it might be because she used 2 sticks not 4 sticks of butter. That helped some, but I am afraid it’s still to thick even before the chips. Mmmmm. Debating on not adding all the blended oatmeal. I’ve added 3 cups already and it is still moist before chips. Thoughts?
     
  2. For the Neimann Marcus $250 cookie, is the Hershey bar the candy bar or the baking bar? I can’t imagine one can grate the candy bar. Please advise.
     
  3. Is it 5 cups of oats before blended? Or is it 5 cups of powdered oats big difference
     
  4. I forgot to add enough grated chocolate (looked at the recipe wrong) still turned out okay
     
  5. I made these last night. I followed the recipe exactly except that I made the dough balls about 2 inches, baked for 11- 13 minutes, let them cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then moved them to a wire rack. My yield was approximately 60 cookies. I allowed them to completely cool, then bagged each one separately. I sent some to work with my husband and brought most with me to work for National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day. I received MANY compliments. I won't be changing this recipe except to make smaller cookies with mini chips!

Reviews

  1. This recipe is excellent. My cookies must have been much bigger than the recipe called for, because I only got 60 and I had to bake them for 10-12 minutes instead of six. Still, fantastic cookie that I will make again.
     
  2. This is one of my favorite cookie recipes, and they never last long when you share them. I like to use mini m&m's instead of chocolate chips, and I sometimes add a little peanut butter (1/4 to 1/2 cup) to make them even more yummy! Even though its a pain to blend the oatmeal and grate the hershey's bars, it's worth it! My little brother is always begging me to make these and I tell him I will if he grates the chocolate. Try these cookies - you won't be disappointed!!
     
  3. All I can say is AWESOME! Great for friends and family because the recipe is so big. You can allways scale it down...But why whith Christmas on the way.
     
  4. this is an awesome recipe except that it took me more that 6 minutes per sheet.. i put the cookies in for at least 15 minutes each.. and they were not burnt, nor were they undercooked.. it was a big hit with my family and coworkers..
     
  5. If you add 2-3 tbs of espresso to this recipe, it is a yummy addition

Tweaks

  1. I use half the amount of grated chocolate otherwise I find that it comes out more like a chocolate cookie. Also I find that you cannot half the recipe, the integrity of the cookie changes.
     
  2. I always sift my flour with the salt, baking powder and soda 3 times when making any cookies. So I also added my blended oatmeal in the sifter too. I also refrigerated my dough before making them. These are by far the best cookies I've ever made. I didn't use any nuts, as my family doesn't care for them.
     
  3. I use either a mixture of milk chocolate and white chocolate, or all white chocolate chips.
     
  4. I dont grind the oats into a powder. I put whole oats in it.
     
  5. Used guittard milk chocolate.It was over kill.But good.
