Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

These Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are not overly sweet. In fact they are just right. The lightly crisp exterior is balanced out with the moist and chewy inside. What makes this recipe great is that you probably all ready have the ingredients in your pantry to put them together; there's no oddball ingredients needed. They come together quickly, bake in under 15 minutes and you are on your way to cookie heaven.
