I am in the process of making these cookies now, and without a doubt, they are some of the best I have made or tasted… Delicious!
Only thing I can add is that I have a 2 gal. bag (ziploc) that I keep in the freezer and every Christmas they usually have choc. chips etc. on sale… So I buy up choc. chips, white cho. chips, milk cho. chips, butterscotch, peanut butter, any kind of chip I can buy and dump them all in my freezer bag.. Then when I make cookies, I have all kinds of chips in them… Yummy! Also have the mini M&M chips, and sometimes toffee also… Just what ever I can get… They keep very well and make for a yummy cookies… Of course, buy what your family likes, but mind like all of them!!!
have you made these with out the chocolate chips ?
No but you can leave out the chocolate chips, easily!
What kind of oatmeal did you use?
The oatmeal shouldn’t matter. The Kitchen would probably use quick oats. Hope that helps.
