Hi! I’m so excited to try these cookies! I was just wondering – for the whole wheat flour, do I need to use regular whole wheat flour? Or would pastry flour work? I know pastry flour is whole wheat, but I do think the consistency is different than regular whole wheat flour. So not sure if that would work.

Thanks!

Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are my favorite. Unfortunately these are not them. These are way too sweet. I noticed when I tested the batter and now after eating the finished product. Not a good balance with other flavors. Will try leaving out the molasses.

Do you have to use regular “rolled” oats in this recipe or can you use quick cooking oats instead?

I made these last week, my husband who doesn’t normally crave any sweets plowed through them taking a bag of them to work everyday. I just came back for the recipe again because he requested I make them again today! Thanks

I made these cookies and I don’t know what you did different than I did mine spread out and we’re very flat tasty but flat so I think next time I will leave out the molasses and the milk or add a little more flour otherwise they had good flavor

I made these for a camping trip for my grown sons. I called them Big Man Cookies! What a hit! I might have to make them for the rest of my life!

I made these yesterday as directed in the recipe. I can confirm other readers comments:
1. Great Harvest doesn’t use molasses or milk ( just water) in their cookies and boy does it make a difference! I love molasses, but apparently not in my chocolate chip cookies. You get enough of that molasses flavor from the brown sugar, especially if you use dark brown.

2.Dark brown sugar does make them darker than the photos posted here. Great Harvest cookies are darker so I wasn’t worried about that, but flavor wasn’t quite right. I’ll try the light brown sugar or a combination of light and dark next time.

These cookies look delicious! I actually called a Great Harvest Bread store I shop at and spoke to the baker about what ingredients are used for these cookies. He stated that they do not use molasses or milk in these cookies or any of their cookies. They do use water, and Im assuming (since he could not give me measurements) that the amount of water is the same amount as the milk in your recipe. Sorry to burst bubbles but im sticking to not using molasses & milk & using the rest of your recipe & the water. The dough is put in the fridge for one hour before baking (and between baking times) to prevent excessive spreading. But you do have to press down on the dough so they wont be so thick. Thanks for your recipe!

Do you know a simple wat to add peanut butter to this recipe? I always loved Great Harvest’s oatmeal chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies.
