I made them, they are mine. All 5 dozen. 5 dozen. Let that be a lesson to you. Be really careful when you're cooking from a restaurant cookbook. Over at Frog, I'm convinced they make cookies by the gross. I don't actually need 5 dozen cookies. I don't need anywhere near that many. Life is hard.
In all seriousness, this recipe is very odd to make. Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, normally with walnuts, but I used peanuts instead. You make a basic cookie batter, and then you add over a cup of oatmeal, 2 cups of chocolate chips, and 1.5 cups of peanuts. At then end of all this, you don't really have cookie batter anymore. You have oatmeal and peanuts and chocolate chips with a batter coating. They just barely hold together. This is a flat, crunchy cookie.

Of course, these were my favorite cookies when I was growing up. Your great-grandfather would occasionally make a batch of these at an unexpected moment and they would last for about five minutes after I got home from school.
