Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

"This recipe is from my aunt Becca who gets requests all of the time from family to make these. She mixes them by hand, so I do too. They'd probably turn out just as well using a mixer though. The butter in the recipe really makes them good. This recipe makes quite a few so feel free to halve the recipe or make it all and freeze the cookies for another day."

  1. I halved the recipe. They are a delicious, hearty cookies. Near the end of mixing in the dry ingredients, I had to work the dough with my hands because it was so stiff. I also formed the cookies by hand. They are crunchy yet moist and a little chewy. Enjoyed by all! These would be great for bake sales! Thanx for sharing!
     
  2. Yum! Ok, here's the truth. I make this cookie dough and keep it in the fridge and eat it raw. No apologies. It's heavenly. Oh, and the baked cookies are delicious too!
     
  3. **** HALF THE RECIPE**** I follows directions without reading how many cookies it yielded (just wanted to bake some cookies lol). I'll have cookies for days. .... ;)
     
  4. this will be my go-to oatmeal cookie. it is not cakey: i love chewy cookies w/ crispy edges. i shared them with many people and they were a big hit! absolutely yummy!
     
  5. Fantastic! I used my mixer to cream the butter and sugar ( I think that makes for a lovely texture in the final product) and to mix in the dry ingredients a bit and then I got my hands in there and mixed in the chips. I used a medium sized ice cream type scoop (Pampered Chef) and it made a nice sized cookie and yielded 75 cookies which I baked for 11-12 minutes. The cookies were a hit at the bake sale I took them too! The texture was amazing! Crispy edges and chewy interior, yum!

  1. As I age I prefer less sweetness to my sweets so I use about a half cup less sugar than called for and fewer chocolate chips, however, that's my preference and the recipe as it stands is excellent!

My all time favorite thing to do is cook and bake. My love for cooking began my first year at college. It has grown into an obsession with recipes. Fortunately, my husband is supportive :) I love the Taste of Home magazines. Most of the recipes I try from their publications are outstanding. I also enjoy running long distances and exercising.
