Best Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

My daughter loves baking. Most of the time she will ask me to bake cake, but if I feel lazy I measure ingredients and let her do cookies. She enjoys mixing the ingredients.

The recipe below is a cookie recipe I found in my Email. Its is called 250$ recipe, because that was the cost paid for by a woman to get this recipe from a cefeteria. Anyway we call it Best Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies and when ingredients permit I use all brown sugar and it is even more perfect!
