My family loves cookies. In fact we have never met a cookie we didn’t like. Snickerdoodles, shortbread, raisin, sugar – you name it, we like it! Of all the cookies in the world, Oatmeal Chocolate Chip are the all-time favorite. I can’t even begin to guess just how many times we have made this recipe. It’s probably hundreds. I was baking this cookie long before I ever had a family. It’s the first cookie my children ever ate, and the first one they request when it’s time to bake. This cookie has been wrapped in a bow, sold at a fundraiser, sent in the mail, served at a picnic, and munched right over the kitchen sink. I think these cookies are best served the day after they are baked, but that’s not to say they aren’t marvelous warm, right out of the oven as well.
