I made these cookies the other day and they remind me of some of the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever eaten from Shelby’s Gourmet Cookies at http://www.shelbyscookies.com My mother order them for me while I was away at school. They came out soft and chewy just the way I like them. Great Job!

i made these tonight for my super who spent 3 days on his elbows fixing my sink. this is the best recipe i’ve found in a long time. i ran out of pecans, so i used walnuts…i love walnuts, but i like pecans better for baking and i’m so excited to try them again. i’ll use this recipe a lot, thanks for sharing!

I have made this recipe a few times and each time I like it more and MORE! This last time I needed a LOT of cookies so I made a double batch. Talk about putting my kitchen aid to the test. Anyway, I made a dumb mistake and didn’t inventory all of my ingredients and realized I only had enough oatmeal for one batch! So, I improvised by adding about 2 cups of whole wheat flour until the texture seemed right, and they still turned out GREAT with that extra hearty flavor that the oatmeal was supposed to provide. Great recipe!

Janet, these are chewy cookies. I don’t really care for those crispy, crunchy varieties.

Lucinda, I don’t sift the flour. Butter can definitely get too soft. Usually about 30 minutes at room temperature is all it takes. Much more than that, and it’s too soft for baking. It should give when you press on it, but not break. I wouldn’t say these are that flat. I like to form the dough with a cookie scoop, as opposed to just dropping them. I think that usually makes them a bit thicker. Over-mixing can cause flat cookies, too. Good luck with your second batch!

Hi: I tried your cookies tonight — promising them as a gift to a special someone tomorrow. They turned out really flat. I kept adding more flour and baking soda. That helped a tad but not much. I’m going to try again tomorrow. Questions: 1) I did not sift any of the flour — are the 2 cups supposed to be sifted, or not sifted? 2) When you told Floriza that the butter might be too soft, what did you mean? My butter was soft enough to hand-mix but certainly not runny or melty at all. 3) Yours in the photo look sort of flat. Perhaps this recipe tends toward flatter cookies?

Many thanks.

Your picture looks wonderful., the melting chocolate looks fabulous and mouth-watering.I have been baking recently and exploring various recipes. Are your chewy?

Floriza, flat cookies can be the result of many things. My usual problems are from dough that has been over-mixed or butter that is too soft.
