Hands down, one of the best cookie recipes ever! I use this recipe all the time and people love it. Sometimes I leave out the Hershey bar and nuts and add in Heath crunch bar pieces or M&M's instead. Other times, I don't ground up the oatmeal. I just put it in whole. Any way you dish it, people will love it. It really is a recipe that is universally loved!

Oh My!! I used to make these all the time--they were one of our favorite cookies that I'd take to like, everything! I haven't seen the recipe in a while (literally, I may have lost it) so I'm thrilled that you've put it on here! Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteThose look like a million dollar cookie to me. Just printed the recipe. Cannot wait to bake them. Yum.
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous cookies. We call them Nieman-Marcus Cookies. I don't care what you call them as long as I have some to eat.
ReplyDeleteThis recipe was sent to me by a friend through email. There was a funny story behind it too. I just haven't found the time to make them. I have no excuses now that I have seen yours.
