    This is a family favorite recipe - my mom made them when I was a teen ( I'm now 57) and I've been making them for 37 years. We don't use the oatmeal though and I like butter flavored crisco in place of margerine.
    These are yummy!

    This should make about 10 dozen cookies, right? :)

    I think I'll try this with nuts instead of chocolate. They sound wonderful.

    I have had pumpkin chocolate cookies before, but not with oatmeal in them.... Can't wait to try these. Any idea how many this recipe makes?

    I tried these and they're wonderful. I made a simple confectioner's sugar glaze to drizzle on the tops. I'm new to your site and appreciate the tried and true recipes. Thank you!

    These are truly delicious cookies.

    I made a batch with hubbard squash puree. If you use squash, I'd recommend using 1/2 cup (or so) less sugar.

    These are SO good, and I cut the sugar nearly in half - and they're still sweet enough!

    These are great! I used 1 cup each of brown and white sugar and the cookies were still sweet enough. I used a large tablespoon and dropped them onto parchment lined sheets. This made 7 - 8 dozen 2" cookies.
