Chocolate Chip Cookies with Oatmeal
If there is one dessert that is pretty versatile, it’s definitely the cookie!
You can practically can put any sweet or salty ingredient in the dough and it just works. From nuts, fruits, chocolate, caramel, cereals, pretzels or chips!
What is your favorite cookie combo?
No matter what is in my cookie, it has to be chewy in the middle and slightly crispy around the edges. Chocolate is always a bonus and I sometimes enjoy a bit of texture like nuts or oatmeal.
I have friends who have claimed this is their all time favorite once they’ve made it.
These Chocolate Oatmeal cookies have the perfect amount of oatmeal sprinkled with creamy chocolate chips. For me it’s all about the chewiness!
I personally love a good mix of milk chocolate and semi-sweet. It just balances it all out!
