These are great cookies! I halved the recipe, but followed it with only two changes. I added cinnamon and used 1/2 walnuts and 1/2 pecans. These didn't spread for me at all. They're wonderful!

I made $11.75 by selling a batch of these for 25 cents a cookie! These are AWESOME! Also, I didn't have any white sugar for some reason, so I used 2 cups of brown but slightly less sugar and more vanilla, which worked really well.

Wow! I followed the recipe almost exactly, except I used milk chocolate chips instead of semisweet. Delicious! Thanks for sharing!

these cookies didn't have the structural integrity i expect from a cookie. they disintegrated into lacy crumbs when i tried to get them off the sheets onto the cooling racks. they tasted good, but so do all cookies. they did improve on the second day, and i couldn't tell you much after that because they were gone. but seriously, they didn't hold together very well.

I thought that these cookies were great! I used extra oatmeal and my batch wasn't the least bit gooey! Perfect! I like them best straight from the oven so they dont harden.

The best cookies ever! The oats make them taste even chewier than the regular kind, and makes it a little more heart-healthy. I deleted the walnuts, since my husband and I don't like nuts. I added about 1 cup more flour, because my first batch was very watery and spread like crazy. I definitely agree that you should grease or Pam your cookie sheet first. To me, the more chocolate chips, the better, so I added the full 3 cups of chips. Yum!!

I love this recipie! I needed to find an oatmeal choc chip recipie better than my mother-in-laws and I found it here. I put in 3 cups of oats (to prevent too much spreading) and only 2 cups of choc chips and my family LOVES them.

i tried this recipe without the rolled oats (realized i was all out a bit too late). unfortunately altering the recipe like this isn't the best idea. i'm sure they would have been delicious otherwise.

I've been looking for a cookie recipe that is chewy like I like them. This recipe is exactly what I wanted. It is a bit crispy on the outside and nice and chewy. Its very chocolatey. I didn't have any problems with them spreading as some people have mentioned.

Wow what I really enjoyed the compliments I received from making this recipe. When my boyfriends 11 year old son asked if I could make chocolate chip cookies for him. I told that I have never attempted making chocolate chip cookies before but I will try. I searched for a recipe and found this one. I followed some of the suggestions and added a lit more oats. I didn't eat any cause at the time I was following a weight loss program. The next day when I came back home from work. My boyfriends son greeted me and told me that he finished all the cookies but left two for me (he didn't know that I was on a diet). When I asked him how he enjoyed the cookes he simply answered beautiful. At his response I decided to forget about the diet and try the cookies. Didn't regret it one bit.

Very good cookie!! I did follow what other said and added more oats to the recipe, about 3/4 of a cup, didn't have any cookies speading more than they should. I also didn't use the called for 3 cups of chips and 1 1/2 cups of walnuts. Stuck with the standard 2 cup bag of chips and I only had 1 cup of nuts, so that's what I used. I didn't find the cookies too sweet at all, they were just perfect!!

I used less sugar than what was stated, otherwise it would've been too sweet. Not a big fan of oats, I felt 2 1/2 cups rolled oats is a bit much (just my personal preference). Overall, not a bad recipe.

This cookie is one of the best cookies I have ever had! My two boys love them. It will be on my list for a very long time. I love oats so I did increase the amount by 1/2 Cup

These turned out great - even though I left out the baking soda because I didn't have any. I would cut down on the sugar by half if you don't like your cookies too sweet.

I made these for a group of kids I teach creative writing too and they were so yummy they were getting their mums to ask for the recipe. A definite hit! They were a bit squishy (no less delicious), but I think that was only because they had no time to sit when they came out the oven because the kids scoffed them all so fast! Quick and easy, and the mixture works fine if you make it the day before and stick it in the fridge until you're ready to cook it.

Very good cookies. Super sweet and chocolaty. Did spread out quite a bit; would definitely recommend chilling the dough before baking.

WOW!!! These were D-LISH! After losing my Mom's recipe, I sought out another..... I opted to take the advice of many others and alter the recipe a bit. I doubled the recipe (as I needed A LOT of cookies) I almost tripled the amount of oats (eyeballed it) added some cinnamon, and split the dough in half. To one half I added 3/4 of a bag of chips, to the other half, I added the remainder of the chips and a cup (+) of raisins. I omitted the nuts alltogether. They came out beautifully. They didn't spread AT ALL!! This was a WONDERFUL recipe and I HIGHLY recommend it!!!

Absolutely wonderful. My mom's a diabetic, and I just bought some sugar-free chocolate chips so that I could make cookies for her. When I used this recipe, I wasn't exact with the measurements of walnuts or chocolate chips, but they came out just fine. Also, I substituted Brown Sugar Twin for the brown sugar and Splenda Sugar Blend for the white sugar. Then, at the end, I separated the cookie dough into two bowls and put sugar-free semi-sweet chocolate chips into one half and regular semi-sweet chocolate chips in the other half. All the cookies were delicious.

Beware these cookies spread!!! The taste is really about a 5 but I had the biggest mess until I added about a cup more oatmeal. The cookies spread so much that they turned into more of a crisp. Definately try this recipe but definately add more oatmeal!!
