Hungry Helpers Big Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies


How about baking up big cookies for hungry helpers or maybe your hungry hard working Dad?
When we have a large group helping us on the farm I bake up these cookies to give them an energy boost and let them know we appreciate hard work.
This recipe will make 40 large cookies that have a soft and moist texture.
Keep the baked cookies frozen for the best taste fresh flavour.
