My son’s in town and we made our go-to Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. I’ve tried a few different recipes throughout the years but this one, in my opinion, is the best and the one I always go back to.
Originally I got a recipe for oatmeal cookies from the back of the Quaker Oats container and have been making this version of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies forever. It’s a great base recipe and can easily change out the chocolate chips for other goodies like raisins, dried cranberries, coconut or nuts. Even better, try adding dried cranberries (or dried cherries) and white chocolate chips. Sounds yummy!
