These were to die for!! Will make again. They were easy to make, and very delicious. My soccer tea loved them and couldn't put them down. They ate them all in about ten minutes. And we're only a team of 22!! My new favorite cookie recipe. Exactly what I was looking for. Great and quick to make.

These are some of the best cookies I have ever made! I doubled the vanilla, decreased the flour, and used sugar free pudding. Delish!

These cookies are amazing. I have baked them many times and not had any problems with them. I have added white chocolate chips and craisins to be different. Great cookies!

Way too sweet, too many chips in each cookie, too much sugar, then added sugar from the pudding...just too much for me.

These cookies are GREAT. I reduced the amount of sugar to 1/2 cup and put in cranberries instead of chocolate chips. They don't last long inour house,

Dealing with gestational diabetes isnt easy when you have a sweet tooth! I made these cookies more diabetic friendly...and they were still amazing good. Here were my changes. I substituted Splenda for the sugar. Subbed Splenda brown sugar for the brown sugar and reduced it to half a cup. I used vegetable spread instead of butter. I used one and a quarter cup of whole wheat flour instead of one and half of white. I used sugar free pudding mix. I used one half cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips. A lot of changes I know but it made a delicious satisfying cookie that is low enough in carbs for everyday enjoyment. I tried it a few ways to come up with this set of subs and they produce the best results. Enjoy!

To add to my review--I didn't have vanilla pudding mix, but I did have cheesecake pudding mix. So I used this instead. Very good.

Just made these using a couple of the other reviewers suggestions: I used chocolate fudge pudding and whole wheat flour. My husband loved them. I felt they were a bit on the dry side, though tasty. The dryness could be the result of using whole wheat flour...I will try the recipe again with all purpose flour :( to see if that was why they were so dry...

I followed the instruction. And i had to put another half a butter and another egg to get it to conform.

These were very good! I used whole wheat flour and old-fashioned oats. This recipe is a keeper.

The vanilla pudding mix keeps these little fellas so moist. I used more brown sugar then regular sugar, and raisins instead of chocolate chips. I can't wait to try different pudding in these!

I made these with chocolate pudding, because I had no vanilla pudding. Made with King Arthur whole wheat flour. Forgot to set timer; remembered cookies just before they started to burn. Absolutely wonderful dipped in a glass of milk or cup of coffee, especially if you cook them too long--just like a superb biscotti or scone!

These are very good! I've been making them for awhile now. I really don't change a thing but like to add just a bit more salt because I love a good salty sweet mix.

These cookies are amazing!! I am a chocolate lover so I used chocolate pudding mix and Hershey's dark chocolate chips, also left out the nuts and replaced with Nestle chocolate chunks. The cookies didn't flatten out much for me either, but still very tasty! Will definitely be making these cookies many more times :)

Burnt the first three dozen. The cookied didn't spread as they baked, so I ended up with burnt little balls. Flattened out the last batch a bit and they baked perfectly.

WOW! Love these cookies! They are soft and chewy and the flavor is fantastic! I also added a cup of raisins, and only had French vanilla instant pudding, but it worked just as well. I had to bake them for 15 minutes, but I may have made mine a little larger. Instead of butter I used Smart Balance. These cookies could not have been better and I will make them again and again.

I used my small Pampered Chef cookie scoop and got a total of 85 cookies. 10 minutes was just enough time. When I took them out of the oven, I gave the pan a tap on the counter to flatten the cookies a little more. I left out the nuts and used French vanilla pudding. They turned out perfect!! Definately a do again.

This is my all-time favorite cookie recipe. I have made it many times for a snack at home or to take to a get-together. Always a hit among my friends, I enjoy using a cup of chocolate chips and a cup of dried cranberries for a sweet, chocolately flavor. Wonderful taste, texture and small enough so that one or two cookies won't ruin your diet!

A co-worker of mine is allergic to chocolate and nuts, so I made them with butterscotch chips. They seemed to be a good pair tasting with the vanilla pudding.

mmmmmm! VERY YUMMY cookie! Everyone I shared them with thought so, too! The second time making them, I used White Chocolate flavor pudding. Hard to imagine them tasting any better than the original, but they were! It was a very subtle difference, but a good one. I'm a stickler for "fresh"-tasting baked goods, and these were too dry for me the second day. They were still very good, just not the same as the first day when they had that wonderful crispy outer layer and chewy inner layer. I solved the problem with my second batch by baking only the number of cookies I wanted each day, and storing the rest of the batter in the fridge. Voila! Fresh-baked flavor every day! Next time, I'll try freezing some, too, and see if that works well.

Be very carful not to overbake them. One pan of mine came out quite brown on the bottoms (not burnt, though), and they didn't taste good at all to me.

These cookies are fantastic. Super moist. Only thing I will change next time is to less than half the sugar, a little on the sweet side. Pudding gives them a very unique flavour.

Update: The next day the cookies were on the hard side. I put a slice of bread in with them and they softened up. When I make them again I plan on adding a mashed banana as suggested by another reviewer.I'm hoping that will make them softer, and give them a little banana flavor. :^)

Reviewed on Jun. 09, 2009 by cbory4

These are great as written, but I added a twist-I used Banana instant pudding! I love the combination of banana, walnuts & chocolate. The banana flavor was very light-I may kick it up a bit next time by using 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1/2 banana extract! Be sure not to overbake-mine definitely had to come out of the oven at the 10 minute mark to be soft & chewy!

Enjoy!

These are by far the best oatmeal chocolate chip cookies I've ever made... and I bake A LOT! They come out perfect every time if you do just as the recipe says. The only thing I add is a bit more vanilla. Plus I refigerate my dough before baking so they don't flatten. If you're looking for a great, easy, crowd-pleasing cookie, this is it!

These have become my very favorite chocolate chip cookie. Like gr8catmom, I also replace the granulated sugar with Splenda. It has twice as much oatmeal as flour. I also make sure and use a dark, bittersweet chocolate chip and not a semi-sweet. It satisfies your sweet tooth, is more filling and better for you.

I've baked a lot of cookies in my time. A recipe with 1 cup butter and 1 1/2 cups flour plus the 3 cups of oatmeal is pretty standard and should make 3-4 dozen cookies. Since they tell you this recipe makes 7 dozen, it means they are tiny cookies, bite sized. So, yes, the calories and fat PER COOKIE is less.....but so is the cookie. Now, if we can eat just one.....but, I would want more than one. How about you?

These cookies are fabulous. I have replaced my old recipe for this one. This is a keeper! My husband love the dough and my children love the cookies. With all my cookies, I will use my pampered chef mini scoop and make cookie dough balls and line them up on a baking sheet. Then freeze them until hard. I then store the dough balls in a marked ziploc bag in the freezer. This way, we can have homemade cookies whenever we want and not have to bake 6 or 7 dozen.
