Easy and quick

This recipe comes from my friend Yvonne. I truly think this is the best oatmeal chocolate chip cookie I have ever eaten. I was once literally followed home from a PTA meeting by a mom who could not live without the recipe. The two things that make these cookies unique are:

  1. a very high quantity of oatmeal - 6 cups
  2. a heavy hand with the salt, two teaspoons to be exact. Trust me, it is not a typo.  Don't back down on the salt. Salt does the same thing for these cookies as salt does for caramel and chocolate.

I'd love to know what you think about these cookies. I bet you can't eat just one. Or two or three for that matter!

Variations

There are lots of great variations to these cookies:

  • Add shredded coconut, dried cherries, or yellow raisins. Throw in pretzels, M & M's, peanut butter cups or toffee pieces. You can't go wrong.
  • Or do what Yvonne does. Take two cookies and fill them with ice cream for the best ever ice cream sandwich.
