WHERE THIS COOKIE CAME FROM

Back when I was in my early 20s, Mrs. Field’s Cookies were it! That huge chewy chocolate chip cookie melted in your mouth and was an experience to eat! My sister-in-law, Ann, gave me a recipe that mimicked this cookie, and I found it when I was sorting through my recipe book this month.

SIZE MATTERS

Oh my, you will never bake a “normal” chocolate chip cookie again after trying these! Of course, in my Madeline fashion, (“Go Big or Go Home”), you must use an ice cream scoop when putting them onto the cookie sheet! They are HUGE! These cookies won’t even fit in my cute Holiday cookie jar! I had to use a Holiday bowl to put them in!

WHAT”S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS COOKIE AND A TYPICAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE?

I think one of the differences with this cookie and that of a typical chocolate chip cookie is the oatmeal and a Hershey Bar that is processed into a powder mixture and added to the batter. When you bite into this cookie, you immediately bite into the most chewiest cookie ever! You can taste not just the semi-sweet chips, but some gooey milk chocolate decadence too! And as for the oatmeal, it’s not the typical flakes of oatmeal that you have in oatmeal cookies, but the taste and heartiness wrapped into one!

So I dare you to make these cookies and have them last more than a couple days in your household! I have to hide them from my husband and kids! I’ll bet you will, too!

So until next time,

Let’s get cookin’ and bakin’
