Ingredients
Instructions
- Cream butter, brown sugar, and sugar together in a large bowl.
- Add eggs and vanilla to the creamed mixture and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, blended oatmeal, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing continuously.
- Stir in chocolate chips, grated Hershey bar, and chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
- Roll the dough into balls about 1 1/2-inch in diameter.
- Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 6 to 8 minutes until golden around the edges.
Tips & Substitutions
For a unique twist, try substituting half of the chocolate chips with dried fruits or nuts for added texture. If you don't have blended oatmeal, you can blend regular oats until fine. Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing. For a chewier cookie, slightly underbake them and let them rest on the tray for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Serving Suggestions
These cookies are perfect for any occasion and can be served warm with a glass of milk or coffee. Consider pairing them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. They also make great gifts when packaged in decorative boxes. For a delightful contrast, serve alongside Chrissy'S Favorite Salad for a balanced meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze the cookies by placing them in a single layer in a freezer-safe container. When ready to enjoy, thaw at room temperature or reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use margarine instead of butter?
Yes, margarine can be used in place of butter, but keep in mind that it may alter the flavor and texture slightly. Make sure to use a stick form of margarine for the best results, and avoid using soft spreads that contain a lot of water.
What can I substitute for the eggs in this recipe?
You can replace each egg with a combination of 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce or 1/4 cup mashed banana for a vegan option. Alternatively, use a commercial egg replacer according to package instructions. This will help maintain moisture and binding in the cookies.
How can I make these cookies gluten-free?
To make these cookies gluten-free, substitute regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Be sure to check that all other ingredients, especially baking powder and oats, are labeled gluten-free. This will ensure that your cookies are safe for those with gluten sensitivities.
