Every time I make these cookies I get rave reviews! I think the pudding in the mix is what makes them sooooo good.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups quick-cooking oats
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts
Directions:
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the oats, flour, pudding mix, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks. Yield: about 7 dozen.

Please do!! I'm making them this week for our family camping trip this weekend. My nieces and nephews would not be happy if I showed up without them. They are a big hit.

I make the same recipe without the pudding mix and the cookies are still delicious. I convince myself they are healthy because of all the oatmeal!

I wonder what would happen if you used "real" oatmeal instead of quick-cooking? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
These look yummy!

I would think they'd be a little chewier. I'm with you...don't like that quick-cooking stuff.

I did try old fashion oatmeal once and they came out really flat. So I use the quick cooking oats from now on.

Hmm, I wonder why? Maybe the old-fashoined oatmeal absorbed more of the liquid than the quick-cooking does. Or maybe the opposite, and it didn't "puff up".

I'm not sure why myself, everything else was the same. I have made these probably 10 times and they have baked up really thick , hard on the outside with a moist middle, except the time I used the old fashion oats. Seems like I used cook & serve pudding mix instead of instant pudding mix that time too. Maybe that had something to do with it???
