"This is the best oatmeal cookie recipe I've ever used! I've made these countless times and they always turn out perfectly," writes Allrecipes cook Megan Kowalski. "I follow the recipe as written, with the addition of adding both chocolate chips and Reece's pieces (this makes them phenomenal). I usually squish them down a bit with a fork before cooking. This gives them the perfect crispy, yet gooey consistency. Overall, 11/10."
