Submitted by JanetB-KY

"This is a good all purpose oatmeal cookie recipe with the added benefit of that chocolate fix when you need it :) . It's not a large yield recipe, but doubles easily."

I made this as dictated except no raisins, and added nuts. I baked until golden and moist (about 11-12 min), I waited until they cooled and they weren't done. So, I had to put them back in the oven, and then they came out flat and crispy. Not sure if it was bake time or what, but these didn't turn out as chewy. Good flavor, it seemed like it wasn't an oatmeal dough like most oatmeal cookies, the oatmeal was more like a filler like the choc chips, etc. I could have used more dough around the chocolate.

Very tasty and simple to prepare. I always add cinnamon to my chocolate chip cookies, so I was glad to see it here. I made these for the latest Pick-Your-Chef event and for the annual Cookie Walk at my church.
