When I made these cookies for my boys while they were growing up, it was a real challenge to keep them away from the kitchen to let these cookies cool. I still make these mouthwatering morsels for my "boys" today. —Ardys Smith, Palo Alto, California

Very tasty, very easy and I ended up with exactly 5 sheets of 12 cookies.

Nothing special, made exactly like the recipe directed. I would rather have made chocolate chip cookies than spending the time to make these. Nothing special that would make me want to do it again! I've baked for over forty years and I'm sorry to say these were not very good.

can you substitute something for the coconut which all my kids won't eat?

It's amazing how many people will change a recipe without trying it first! When I saw this recipe I knew I had to try it. At Halloween time because we only get about 12 treaters I buy the full size Hershey bars. This year I had a package left and the next day is when I saw this recipe. I love coconut and oats are good for everyone. I love these cookies. They are a little crunchy on the outside, but very moist on the inside. They were a snap to mix up. I did not change a thing when making them. My kitchen was very warm so I put them in the refrig, to harden the chocolate before stacking. I will add them to my Christmas cookies list and I'm thinking of trying to add milk chocolate chocolate chips to the batter or spreading the bar to make them a little more atractive for gift giving. Thank you Ardys for sharing.

These cookies are so quick and easy to make. They taste really good with or without the chocolate!

I bake cookies often and pondered about making this cookie for a long time before finally baking them last week. They went like wildfire and the boys are begging for more.

I was skeptical about how good these would be. The recipe name can lead me astray. Shouldnt have worried- these cookies are yummy! Will be making them again!

These were good but not my kid's favorite. In fact, she wouldn't even eat them! I did substitute a few chocolate chips for the candy bar on top, so I'm sure they were less chocolatey that they are supposed to be. I might make them again, but I doubt it.

Well, I changed these a bit (cut the sugar in half, substituted 1 c. white whole wheat flour for 1 c. of white), but they were delicious! Light, not dense, a little crispy.

I bake cookies at least every 2-4 weeks year round and about 5-8 batches for the holidays and I think this might be the best recipe I've tried. They're incredible. I almost passed right over them because the title didn't say much. Don't. I would call them Everyone's favorite cookies. Make these and try them. Wow! I followed the recipe exactly.
