defintely don't skip the greasing, cookies are hard to remove and keep shape. excellent recipe though.

This is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe that uses oatmeal. I love them.

Leave it to this politically savvy powerhouse to figure out how to make a fantastic chocolate chip cookie! :) I'm being completely bi-partisan when I say these were fantastic. Crispy, flavorful and delicious!!! I followed directions to the letter except for greasing the cookie sheet before baking (thought it wasn't necessary). I would reccommend NOT skipping this step, however, because cookies stuck firmly to pan!

The best oatmeal cookie I have ever made. My family loves them. I made them two weeks in a row and I can't keep them in the house. I don't get 7 dozen out out the recipe, it's more like 3 1/2. Don't know if Hilary actaully makes these but there are wonderful!!!!!!!

This is an awsome recipe. I love the oatmeal, and how easy these cookies are to make! Try adding a cup of butterscotch chips for another variation! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!

These cookies turned out better than I thought they would. I changed the amount of dough to 2 teaspoons per cookie and since I wanted them to be crunchy all the way through, I baked them for 13 minutes. Not too bad at all, and the crunchiness hides most of the oatmeal flavor.

Used 1/2 c unsalted butter and 1/2 c butter flavored shortening and lessened chips to 1 c. I would've given it a 5 star rating but I made some changes so it gets a 4. My two kids (2 & 5) loved these cookies.

I've used this recipe for years. It's nice to see it on line here. Kids really love them. Have a good flavor. The oatmeal in them make them heathier and get away from all that white flour in most cookies. Every once in a while I try a different recipe but I always seem to come back to this one..

Great flavor. I cut the oatmeal down to 1.5 cups, too but I think it could have used the extra "filler" because my cookies came out flat and delicate if undercooked even slightly (I usually prefer cookies undercooked but these were better with brown around the edges.) If you want a less flat cookie substitute some shortening for some of the butter. Too bad Hillary doesn't have a good recipe for politics.

I think this is a fool-proof, crowd-pleasing cookie. The oatmeal makes the cookie nicely chewy but doesn't overpower the cookie with oatmeal taste. I use Ghiradelli Double Chocolate chips for a really sumptuous cookie. Sometimes I substitute 1 c. dried tart cherries for the chips, to make a more sophisticated cookie. I think the shortening really makes the texture of this cookie sublime, which is unfortunate because I wish I didn't have to use shortening, as it contains unhealthy partially hydrogenated oils.

This cookie was okay--It also kept pretty well. Next time I will use butter instead of shortening--I might also run the oats thru the blender.

Good-tasting cookie! I reduced the amount of oatmeal to 1.5 cups instead of 2. My kids and our friends loved these! Gone in one day!

I can't say that these are the best because my Mom's are the best but these are a close second. There is just enough oatmeal to make them wonderful and yet NOT be an oatmeal cookie. I highly recommend these to anyone!

This has more oatmeal in it than a variation of a chocolate chip cookie should have. Maybe it should be classified or titled and oatmeal choc chip cookie. Either case I've had better. This is a so-so cookie, nothing great. Mary
