Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

OatmealCC1 OatmealCC2

This recipe was very random. In the sense I was already baking a red velvet cake that day and decided to bake up some cookies as well! I still didn’t  have my cookbooks unpacked or computer set up, so I use kitchen items to get a recipe. I had a bag of chocolate chips and a container of oatmeal. The oatmeal container had a recipe for oatmeal chocolate chip cookies! They sounded good and I decided to go with it. Everything came together quickly and as soon as I was done baking the cakes, they were cooling and I was already baking up the cookies. The guys were very happy to enjoy them with large glasses of milk while watching Sunday football! The cookies were crunchy from the oatmeal and loaded with gooey chocolate goodness. I enjoyed my cookie with a post-workout green protein shake the following day. ;)

I forgot to save the oatmeal container for the recipe, so I had to do some research and make my brain remember exact measurements. This was a fun challenge!

I hate it when I go to blog something and can't find the recipe! The cookies look terrific - definitely worth making again.
