Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe Tested

Its been a while since I baked cookies. Oatmeal and chocolate combo is something I did not think about, until my nephew mentioned that he liked it the best. In my search on line I came across this recipe mentioned in Baking Sheet which was taken from the book The Frog Commissary Cookbook. I followed the recipe and what I tasted was something perfect and wonderful especially when taken out of the oven and chewed on. It does have a wonderful flavor and I warmed it up in the microwave for a few seconds before I had it every time once it had cooled because it was perfect when it was warm.
