Flavor was good, but we were expecting chocolate chip cookies, not oatmeal cookies, which is exactly what these are.

It's okay, but not terrific. It's not buttery enough for me and something isn't quite right, although this is a lot nitpicking on my part. I like my chocolate chip cookies a particular way, I'm afraid. Just a note on a couple other reviews. I don't see anywhere in the recipe where the chocolate has to be chopped. Also, someone noted this was the Mrs. Field recipe. Mrs. Field's has stated they do not use oats/oat flour in their chocolate chip cookies and I cannot taste oats in those cookies. They have stated that their recipes use more butter and vanilla than the average home recipe, along with more sugar.

These cookies were a hit with my hubby's coworkers. He got several requests for the recipe and thank you e-mails for the delicious treat! I had to bake these for 12 min, don't know if I rolled them too large or what, but they still seemed a little undercooked when I took them out but cooled fine and tasted great!

The cookies were very good. Although I like a softer chocolate chip cookie myself. They were a little too much work also. Kind of tricky grating the chocolate, My family did like them though. I'll keep the recipe but am still gona search for that perfect Chocolate Chip cookie. You may want to cut this recipe in half. I did and it still made 50 or so cookies!!!

Mrs Field's, Neiman Marcus', Urban Legend .. these cookies taste very good for a hoax recipe. First got it but unnamed, from a local aussie paper more than 10 years ago, then discovered it's got a name (1st or 2nd name above) last 4 years or so via the Net. Recently here (malaysia), it's making its rounds again but under yet another name - Famous Amos, lol. No matter what name it goes around with, this chocolate oatmeal chip cookie deserves a try; so go on, you might just come to love it, especially if you love oats, with nuts and chocolate. This makes a lot; I make them smaller and halve the recipe sometimes too. Thanks for sharing it here Holly, I now know the calories and fat content of these cookies.

This is one of those special occasion cookies. Everyone loves them. I have made them several times over the past 5 years or so.

I made a half recipe to take to a cookie exchange-everyone loved them. I added these to my permanent cookie recipe collection. The only suggestion I would make is to split the oatmeal before blending because it choked up my blender.
