Because of the large amount of flour and oats in relation to the creamed sugars and eggs and chips and nuts, this dough doesn't spread so as Jacklyn says, the size of the unbaked balls should be small. Here's a cookie tip... after removing the baked cookies from the cookie sheets, sprinkle them with a shake of coarse sea salt, this really brings out the sweet/salty flavor.

How big is your dough before you put into oven? It should look like a lollipop, not bigger than that. Jaclyn: Usually for those who got it wrong with this recipe, the most likely culprit is the size.

It looks really good. I tried this recipe last weekend without the oats. However, it turned out really soft, until it just doesn't hold still. Where do you think went wrong?

I saw ur recipe and i tried it last night. I am a big fan of Famous Amos while im in Msia, was so happy i could basically found all the ingredients here, after translation from german to english, sourcing around from one store to the other, especially oatmeal in powder is not common over here. I have ommitted the vanilla essence coz i dont really like the taste. The salt making the cookies really interesting! I baked em' at 170C coz when i put at 180c, the bottom is pretty burnt. I find the center is not crunchy, i think could be that i need to reduce the oatmeal (from 300g), roll it smaller and see what will happen :) Btw, my hubby and baby loved it so much, they keep asking for more...

Another way is to reduce the oat meal. Did you make your 'balls' small, not bigger than the standard lollipop size? Smaller size also can help making it crunchy. amy: I haven’t tried that, but it sounds logic. Another way is to reduce the oat meal.
