From Sunset's Cookies, cookbook. My DH thinks these are the greatest! I admit that they do make great gifts. From the intro: "Oversized cookies, often best-sellers at fund-raising events, are easy to make at home. [These...] reach a diameter of about 7 inches -- enough cookie to last all day! For variety, you can use butterscotch-flavored chips instead of chocolate."

Yield 1 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine, softened
1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/3 cups rolled oats
1 (12 ounce) package semisweet chocolate or 1 (12 ounce) package butterscotch chips
1 1/2 cups nuts, chopped
granulated sugar

Steps:

Beat butter and brown sugar in large bowl of an electric mixer, until creamy; beat in eggs and vanilla.
In separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, blending thoroughly.
Add oats, chocolate chips, and nuts; mix well.
Shape each cookie by spooning dough into a 1/2-cup measure, level off, and turn out onto a greased baking sheet. Space cookies a minimum of 6 inches apart and 2 1/2 from edge of baking sheet.
Lightly grease the bottom of a pie pan, dip in granulated sugar, and use to flatten each cookie into a 5 1/2-inch circle. To even each cookie's thickness, press it lightly with your finger, if necessary.
Bake in a 350 degree farenheit oven for about 15 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Place on baking sheets and allow to cool for 5 minutes; transfer to racks to cool completely.
Store in airtight container.

For crispier cookies: Use less brown sugar and more white sugar, and bake the cookies for a few minutes longer.
To make the cookies extra chocolatey: Add an extra 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the dough. You can also use a mix of milk chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips.
To make the cookies more flavorful: Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract to the dough. You can also add a pinch of salt to enhance the sweetness of the cookies.
To make the cookies more nutritious: Use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour and add a handful of chopped nuts or dried fruit to the dough.
