OMG!! So good!! This is best chocochip oatmeal cookie!!
I made as described except for using 1/4 cup of milk chocolate chips and 1 3/4 mini semi-sweet chips, as that’s what I had in the cupboard. The recipe made over 4 dozen large cookies so that’s something to keep in mind. My only critique with the recipe is the amount of salt. The next time I will cut it in half.
I have made this recipe many, many times. It is a family favorite. The coffee liqueur makes the flavor rich and deep. Don’t skip it!
The cookies are pretty and bake up nicely shaped. But Hubs and I both agree these just weren’t anything special – just ok. If it wasn’t for the chocolate these would be kind of tasteless. Looking over the ingredients list this is a mystery to me, since everything seems to be there – salt, equal parts brown and granulated sugar, butter, vanilla. As for the coffee liqueur, it was only when I looked at the recipe again that I remembered it was in there. In other words, we couldn’t taste it. These might get eaten I suppose, but I would neither recommend them nor make them again.
Just made a batch…oh my! They were totally awesome, but of course they’re still warm, so the real test is tomorrow when they’re cool. The coffee liqueur adds that extra special something. I’ll make these again for sure!
This still has the traditional flavor of a chocolate chip cookie but with something special. I have experimented with other ingredients in cookies over the years but it is the Kahlua that makes the difference here. I get raves where ever I take this cookie! I never make a traditional chocolate chip cookie anymore. These are just too good!
These tasted great. I think next time I will try to cook for a minute or two less, but overall excellent.
LOVE LOVE LOVE!! I followed the recipe exactly and they tasted amazing! I love the texture the oats give them!!
Fantastic cookies! The best I’ve ever made! I used all shortening, no butter. Used 1/2 semi sweet chips, and 1/2 milk chocolate. I only baked for 9 min, took them out when they were chewy. I didn’t grease the bottom of the pan, they turned out perfect!
All I can say is YUM!!!!
I didn’t change a thing, and they were the best. Just like my mom used to make.
The coffee-flavored liqueur really does make a difference; I use Kahlua. One of the best cookie dough recipes I’ve come across. The cookies DON’T go completely flat (w/ bumps poking out) while baking, and stay soft (usually don’t last more than 2 days at my house) after baking. I’ve tried variations w/ sweetened dried cranberries and raisins. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.
EXCELLENT! i am usually skeptical to use shortening because they make my cookies hard. But this cookie was very veryvery good. The day after i baked them they tasted like the cookies from the bakery at the supermarket. Only thing was i omitted the oatmeal for more of a classic choc. chip cookie taste. Yum! =)
I’ve tried SO many chocolate chip cookie recipes, trying to find one that’s just right for my husband, who lives soft insides and just a slight crunch on the outside. This is perfect! The Kahlua doesn’t jump out at you, but adds a nice touch, and the texture of the cookies is wonderful. The only change I made was adding about 1/8 cup or less extra of dark brown sugar (only because I had a little left in the bag and wanted to use it up). Also, for those who are making these for guests, they really make a beautiful cookie, all golden brown, lumpy and delicious-looking. Perfect, IMO.
These are my new favortie cookie. The taste and texture remind me of a rich version of a healthy snack bar. Love ’em.
I’ve been trying to find a chocolate chip cookie recipe that is a little healthier than your average recipe and also tastes good. This is now my favorite recipe, I make it regularly.
I LOVE how soft/chewy these are – that’s my favorite thing about a cookie! Next time I may double the coffee liquer or add more brown sugar – this isn’t as sweet as I’d like. I did use half butter-flavored shortening, half butter – used Starbucks liquer. Daughter and her friend kept coming back for more… : )
Delicious….I can barely get these cookies on a plate before my husband eats them all! This recipe is for sure a keeper!!
I THOUGHT THIS RECIPE WAS FANTASTIC AND I SHARED THESE COOKIES WITH MY FAMILY AND THEY ABSOLUTLY LOVED IT :}
Mine didn’t turn out as great as everyone says but I’m still giving it 5 stars because it’s a great recipe and shouldn’t be thought less so because of my poor baking skills. I had to use one cup of butter flavored shortening because I was out of regular butter. I also didn’t have the liquor which I’m sure would’ve given an extra burst of flavor. Mine didn’t flatten at all but stayed soft. I might have beat the flour too long in the excitement of using my Kitchen Aid mixer for the first time in months.
Wonderful Recipe! My kids hate oatmeal, but can’t keep their hands off these cookies! The only substitution I made was 1 cup dark chocolate chips plus 3/4 cup mini M&M’s for the 2 cups chips. Will definitely make again!
