Ingredients
Instructions
- Cream together butter, sugar, and brown sugar.
- Add eggs and vanilla, and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix until combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips and chopped Hershey bar.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto baking sheets and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a chewier cookie, try chilling the dough for at least an hour before baking. You can substitute half the butter with applesauce for a lighter version, or use whole wheat flour for added nutrition. If you're short on chocolate chips, you can replace some with nuts or dried fruits. Remember to mix the dry ingredients thoroughly to avoid clumping.
Serving Suggestions
These cookies are perfect on their own but can be elevated by serving them with a glass of cold milk or alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Consider pairing them with a warm cup of coffee or tea for a delightful afternoon treat. For a special occasion, they also complement the Fruited Cheese Ball beautifully.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to three months. To reheat, place cookies in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until warm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of chocolate in this recipe?
Absolutely! You can mix and match your favorite chocolate types, such as dark chocolate, white chocolate, or even flavored chocolate. Just ensure the total weight remains around 24 ounces for the best texture and flavor balance.
What can I do if my cookie dough is too sticky?
If your dough is sticky, try adding a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a manageable consistency. Chilling the dough for an hour can also help firm it up, making it easier to handle.
How can I make these cookies less sweet?
To reduce the sweetness, you can decrease the amount of sugar used by about 1/4 cup, or substitute some of the brown sugar with unsweetened cocoa powder for a richer flavor. Additionally, using dark chocolate chips can help balance the overall sweetness.
