What a great recipe! I made a batch (using peanut butter chips and no macadamia nuts) and took them with us on a trip with several other families. They were a huge hit with everyone. The oats have a great texture that made some people think there was coconut in the cookie. I'll definitely be making these again and next time will try using chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. -
This is a fantastic cookie recipe that I originally found in MY BHG cookie cookbook. They are SOOOO yummy. I usually use a full cup of butter and no shortening, old-fashioned oats rather than rolled, and have also added butterscotch chips to the semi-sweet and white chocolate. I also make them a bit smaller to get 2 1/2 to 3 dozen and just shorten the cooking time by a minute or two. Thanks for posting this--may many more enjoy these cookies! :)
