I got this recipe from a friend a few years ago - I was so surprised the first time I made them; there was a TON of dough!!! Depending on the size of your cookies, it makes somewhere around 112 cookies! But to tell you the truth, they make a great breakfast on the go. The oatmeal provides protein and energy, and the chocolate gives it a sweet taste : )
