Really good. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is that it is too sweet. I noticed people cutting down the sugar to make them healthier. I just did it to make them taste better! The sugar was just too overpowering. I did 1/2 cup white and 3/4 cup brown and it was plenty sweet. If you wanted it healthier you could even cut it down more. Big hit with my family!

My family found these better tasting than traditional chocolate chip cookies. Oatmeal gives them great texture, slightly chewy! Highly recommend, they turned out perfect!

such a great recipe. i made some changes. I gut down the butter by 3-4 tablespoons because I found to too moist and needed to add more flour the first time I made these. I also used flax seed as an egg substitute. 1 tablespoon flax seed + 3 tablespoons water, let it sit or 2 minutes, and it acts as a egg substitute! I threw in a little wheat germ as well!

Great recipe! I have tried several other "healthier" recipes before and unfortunately most of them turn out tasting like dirt mixed with chocolate chips. Not these cookies! The texture was perfect. They were soft, chewy (not fluffy and cake like. I of course did make a few changes to make them a bit healthier. I decreased the sugars by 1/4 cup each. I also used half wheat flour and half white. It made 34 cookies. Next time I may even try to use a little applesauce in place of some of the butter (1 1/2 cups is a little more than I prefer. But overall, this recipe is awesome and I don't feel guilty letting my family eat these! I will definately make them again!

This was a fabulous recipe. Like others I tweaked it to make it even "healthier". For the flours, I used 1/2 cup spelt, 1/2 cup whole wheat, and 1/2 cup white. I reduced the brown sugar to 1/2 cup and the white sugar to 1/2 cup + 1/8 cup. Next time I might just go with 1/2 cup each. When making the Toll House cookie recipe on the back of the Nestle's chocolate chip bag, I always used 1/2 cup each of both sugars instead of the 3/4 it called for and they were always plenty sweet.

And of course I put in a whole 12 oz bag of Nestle's semi sweet chocolate chips (~ 1 1/2 cups.
They did come out flat, but were very yummy and crispy/chewy. I'm wondering if adding a little baking powder will help them rise a bit. Otherwise I'll try the extra flour trick. It made 5 dozen 2 1/2" - 3" cookies.

These were a big hit with my kids! Like others, I sought to make them a little healthier. Used 1+ cup whole wheat, 1/2 cup regular. Replaced half stick of butter with 2 generous tablespoons of unsweetened applesauce. Skipped the white sugar entirely. Added extra cinnamon. Used bittersweet chocolate chips and added an extra 1/4 cup. Quick, easy, and delicious! Definite keeper!

These are great. I tweaked the recipe a lot though to make it healthier. Instead of regular flour i used whole wheat, changed the sugars to 1/2 cup ea and added 1/2 c honey, increased the flax and oatmeal to about 125% and used coconut oil instead of butter. Added more cinnamon and added ginger and nutmeg. These are amazing, even my super picky husband eats them, and he won't try anything. Thanks for the base of my recipe fn

Whom ever came up with these cookies, I LOVE YOU. I won't even eat oatmeal cookies. I Generally Do NOT like them.. But this year someone asked me to baked them a batch, and I looked up a dozen recipes and found this one. I actually tried it and didn't mind eating it. They went in the 1st 15 minutes of me putting them out.. And then another batch same thing...
