The cookie are tasty enough to stand alone, but the filling—I could have eaten the whole bowl. Ignore the calories and enjoy. This is a keeper cookie recipe for sure.
Great cookies. In case these didn't turn out as expected, many cookies recipes will need adjusted for high altitude (anything 3,000 feet or above). If you live in a high altitude and did not get the results you expected this might be the problem. Check the location the recipe originated. The Nestle Toll House cookie recipe has the changes printed on the chocolate chip package or you can Google for directions on how to adjust the amounts. It doesn't take huge changes, but it makes a huge difference in many cookies.
I love this recipe--- The cookies are so delish I don't even bother with the filling.
I didn't have enough fluff, but these still turned out fantastic. Follow the timing.
Ive made many recipes from.TOH that my SS kids loved...this one no. The kids simply hate oatmeal lol. However, the adults gobbled them up esp Preacher. I would make again for a fellowship.
My toddler usually only nibbles the edge of any given cookie and then says its yucky. I made these and he ate 5 in one night!
These are the BEST. Every time I bake these they are a great success. I never have any left overs.
Every time I have made these they have always turned out crunchy on the outside and undercooked in the middle. I have tried adding more flour and it seemed to help a bit. I will look for a better oatmeal cookie recipe to pair with the cream filling.
Wow! These are sooo good. I did use quick oats instead of old fashioned because I had just bought a huge container of them and wanted to use them. The texture of the cookie was wonderful. The filling is sooo good. It gave me ideas to use it on cupcakes. They were a hit at work!
Made this recipe this week for my hubby who is an oatmeal cookie fan. He absolutely loves them. Shared some with the neighbors and was told they are the best ever !!!!! Excellent recipe and it really looks like it is a lot more work that it is.
