Chocolate Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

I made these when my children were young and now my grandchildren enjoy them also. I'm not sure where I got the recipe from but enjoy making them as they are quick and easy to make. * To sour the milk I add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the milk and let sit for about 5 minutes. Or you can use 1 tablespoon of vinegar.
