With a stick of butter languishing on the counter for a few days, how could I not make these? We LOVED them. Chewy on the inside, crispy on the outside.I altered recipe slightly, subbing an extra 1/2 cup flour for the oats. (Wasn't in an oat-y mood tonight.) They are awesome. Next time (and there will be a next time) I will use more salt, like maybe 3/4 - 1 tsp.

Thanks, Mrs. Larkin! I actually made chocolate chip cookies at culinary school this week, and thought - nope, mine are better! I love, love this recipe (it took me awhile to perfect) - and I'm so glad you do to.

Agreed! Was hoping someone would enter a choco chip cookie. Cures many ailments.
