Notes

  • This recipe makes 40 cookies. Store baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Frozen chocolate is easier to grate than room-temperature chocolate. I like freezing my Hershey bar for 30 minutes before finely grating it.
  • Use a blender or food processor to finely grind the rolled oats.
