How to make Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Directions:
Drop large spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet (or a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper). I typically use one of the large cookie scoops for these. Bake @ 350 degrees for 10 minutes, or until they are the desired texture.
I have tried plenty of oatmeal cookie recipes over the years, but this one is my favorite by far. Whether you want a big, thick, chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, or a crispy oatmeal cookie, you can have either with this cookie recipe. Just make smaller scoops for a crispy cookie, or you can even make large scoops and just cook them a bit longer.
