oatmeal cookies... with CHOCOLATE!

Okay, as you probably know I have an obesession with chocolate chip cookies. Like... stranded on a dessert island you can only have one food for the rest of your life, mine would be chocolate chip cookies, obsession!

I also really like oatmeal cookies. But, oatmeal cookies usually have raisins and while I like that what I really like is chocolate! So, when I saw the recipe for these on the back of the chocolate chip bag I knew I had to make them and I am very glad I did!

Here is the recipe!
