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?
-
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.
-
Is it 5 cups of oats before blended? Or is it 5 cups of powdered oats big difference
-
I forgot to add enough grated chocolate (looked at the recipe wrong) still turned out okay -
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!

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. -
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!!

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.
-
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.. -
If you add 2-3 tbs of espresso to this recipe, it is a yummy addition

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. -
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.
-
I use either a mixture of milk chocolate and white chocolate, or all white chocolate chips.
-
I dont grind the oats into a powder. I put whole oats in it. -
Used guittard milk chocolate.It was over kill.But good.
