My son and I made these today using a different brand of baking mix (*Ahem*…starts with a B and ends with a k) and also using butter instead of margarine. I baked them for twenty minutes, but the middle was not cooked at all. It took an extra ten minutes to bake and by then they looked extremely overcooked. I cannot wait to get the Pioneer brand mix and try these again. I am determined! =) My family loved your chocolate chocolate chip cookies.

I’ve shipped thesevery same cookies to Afghanistan on several occasions and out of all the types I’ve shipped, these get the ravest reviews each time. Packages have even taken six weeks to get there before!
I suggest only using margarine (no butter) due to excessive ship times.

I am trying to find cookie recipes that will get sent to deployed soldiers (husband is currently deployed also) and I am needing to make 4 dozen cookies. How well will these ship to Afghanistan? It is desert and very hot. So I am wondering if these will ship to that area…I don’t want to make 4 dozen cookies and then when they get them they are either moldy or melted.

I just made a batch of the M&M Oatmeal Bars to send to our grandson in college. Just like you said, I couldn’t wait until they were cool. I had to try one and they are so good.

I love your Website and the wonderful recipes you share with us. I’ve made Apple Brown Betty several times and everyone wants that recipe. it is so easy and so good.

Thanks

I am so tickled to hear that ya’ll loved the bars. I agree, I think coconut would be a great addition!

Made these tonight. Yum..m..m..m..y! For dinner tonight I made the crock pot cheesy chicken and rice. That was delicious as well. My grandson and I have to try not to eat all the m&m bars before his mother gets here to pick him up when she gets off work so she can try them too. Was thinking these might be good with coconut added in to. I may try that next time.

Hey Christy! I am making these now as we speak, and you are right – they smell awesome!! My 2 year old is getting a huge kick out of helping mommy too – his job was to stir in the m&m’s (and of course taste some too). Taking thses to a school Christmas party tomorrow and I used the Christmas m&m’s.

First off I want to say that as a full time college student your recipes are perfect for me!! They’re so simple and quick! And fabulous of course

And for the third time this week I decided to try a new one.
So this morning I made these and they turned out great!!

but…. (yes, there is always a but!)

Shortly after making them (and eating only one) I covered the pan with foil and set it next to the fridge. Not even two minutes later a wine glass fell from the top of the fridge and shattered… right through the foil and on my precious cookies!

Needless to say, my second batch of the day is currently cooling on the counter. And I’m hoping to eat more than one this time! Thank you for this recipe along with every other one on the site. Your time and effort is much appreciated!!!
