My Kids’ Favorite Cookies
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

A nice cookie, and very simple. The only issue is that the cookie itself didn't have much flavor.
Very tasty cookies. My granddaughter helped me and she loves sprinkles so that was an addition I made. Otherwise I stuck to the recipe. I stored them in an air tight container and they remained soft and delicious. I'll definitely be making these again.
Great cookies. I made them with my grandkids. There were lots of jobs they could do.
Just made these and they're delicious. I made them exactly as directed and flattened slightly as stated using a fork dipped in flour. I'm guessing the cookies in the photo are made extra large because you only get 12 chocolate rectangles in each candy bar; 5 x 12=60 pieces. There's not enough chocolate to put two on each cookie and not enough room on each cookie to put more than one piece. I'll be making these again at Christmas!

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