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.

Whether you want a big, thick, chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, or a crispy oatmeal cookie, you can have either with this cookie recipe.
