oatmeal chocolate chip cookies

Chocolate chip cookies are classic American home-baked food. I’ve had many cookies over the years, and though I enjoy most, there’s something about the recipe my mom used that just hits the spot.

Growing up, we always had oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. My mom figured that the oatmeal would at least make it a little healthier! If it’s not what you grew up with, you might not love it as much, but I think these cookies will still please almost all who taste them.
