the cookie was okay. not awesome though. its too oatmeal-ey. after reading the reviews, i reduced the oatmeal by half a cup but it tasted too grainy and healthy. its more of an oatmeal cookie. and if you like oatmeal cookies, might as well not powderize the oats and use instant oats instead

Its a great cookie, but for whatever reason it does not taste like the store bought cookies. The mrs fields website does not state using oatmeal in their cookies. Now while oatmeal makes a great cookie, it sounds like they use a blend of flour and not oatmeal. So these cookies taste much more like a Cookies by George... people out West may know these cookies. They are oatmeal chocolate and are prominent for their chocolate chunks on the top(middle) of the cookie. Very good recipe, oatmeal has a very strong texture and taste. I love it, but it makes it slightly different from Mrs Fields

I have been making these for years and everyone raves about them. The trick is to only bake them for 8-10 minutes. They will look like they are not done but once they have cooled they will be perfect. If not they will not taste good at all. A cookie scooper will make this a lot easier.

If I could give this recipe 10 stars I would. I have been making my cookies this way for many, many years and I just love them. Use a coffee grinder to powderize the oatmeal. So easy. I do about 1/2 cup at a time and dump into a bowl as I go. It literally takes a minute. The oatmeal really makes these special.

These are very popular in our family and neighbourhoold - most requested recipe for the last 10 years. A handy shortcut is to chop the nuts and chocolate bar in food processor after or before the oats - not too finely though - save a bit of time

I have been using this recipe for years now. Everybody loves them! They are different than the boring recipe on the back of every bag of choc. chips. The picture shown doesn't give them justice - mine stay "plump". Highly recommend! Also, you can divide the recipe in half easily so that you don't make so many, and they freeze well :)

The perfect chocolate chip cookie! I got this recipe at a cookie exchange last year, and these are now the ONLY chocolate chip cookies I will make. I use Pecans instead of walnuts, and also found that they take a little longer to cook, but these are wonderful. Once you try them, you won't go back to your old recipe. Tip: If you don't want to blow the motor on your mixer, you may want to make half batches. That's what happened to my coworker who made these for the cookie exchange. After hearing about that, I started with the mixer but finished with my hands after adding the chips & nuts.

These are truly the best cookie ever. I cannot say enough about them, I tried adding some instant coffee powder to the mix and was even happier.

The cookie was great, I highly recommend it. However, I question the authenticity of the recipe. It is the same as the Neiman Marcus spam that went around several years ago.

This recipe sounded so nice and from the previous reviews I thought it would be a winner. I had to use chopped chocolate instead of chips as I couldn't find any in Amsterdam! I also had to bake the cookies for about 20 minutes, even though they were golf ball size. The strange this is that they were very soft when I took them out of the oven, but they hardened up probably too much. This might be because of the chocolate chunks. I'd still definitely recommend this. I only made half a batch and took both into work two days in a row (my container only holds around 25 of them). Everyone loved them. In fact, they seemed more of a hit on day two!

I just took these out of the oven and they are very good though not really like Mrs. Fields. If you don't like oatmeal cookies I would not suggest this recipe because it's basically an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. I would make it again, they are very tasty.

This is my absolute favorite cookie recipe, and while it's very time consuming to make it is worth it for special occasions. I use mini Hershey kisses (found in the same section as chocolate chips) instead of grated Hershey bar to save on the time. Don't try to flatten them, as somehow it makes them taste very blah. There must be some magic in the texture that is created with the fuller cookie.

Im in the middle of making these now, and Im doing all I can to keep from eating all the dough. *I have found that the best way to powderize the oatmeal and grate the chocolate is to toss them into a blender set on 'grind', works perfectly!* Also, for the people having trouble with the cookies flattening out in the oven, be sure you are using butter not margarine...it makes all the difference.
