Trailside Oatmeal Cookies

Great for taking along on hikes or camping trips. Full of high energy goodies, mixed to your taste. The 2 1/2 cups semi-sweet chips should be a mix of those plus other items of your choice. I use Peanut butter chips, raisins, shredded coconut and nuts along with the semi-sweet chips for a total of 2 1/2 cups.
