I happened to have all the ingredients lying around cause I just made the Easy Granola Bars a week ago. The only ingredients I was missing to make that recipe were the sweetened condensed milk and the nuts, so thus I made this recipe, to see how it would compare. In essence, these are just a cookie form of that recipe--much richer, because they use butter in place of sweetened condensed milk and softer because they incorporate flour as well as oats. Anything with these combination of ingredients is a winner in my book, but I would say I by far those granola bars because these strike me as a little oily--3/4 c of butter may be a good idea. And make sure to sure in the fridge, in hot days, the greasiness is even more evident. I only used 1.5 c of chocolate, and used only 1/4 c of w sugar as suggested, make sure to do that. I had to use 1 c of raisins in place of the nuts. Over all, I think I would just buy the ff sweetened condensed milk and make those bars instead when a craving hits for this combo of ingredients, my absolute weakness- semisweet chocolate chips, coconut, oats, nuts, and dried cranberries or raisins. And how did anyone end up with 30 cookies? Geeze, those must have been huuggeee.Mine were a decent size, and I got 42!
