Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

I really love oatmeal cookies but I’m pretty picky about them. They have to have that soft and chewy texture and cooked perfectly. If they are they can be the BEST cookie! This recipes has been my absolute favorite and the cookies come out perfect each time.

This is the perfect substitution for those of you who hate raisins! Everything is better with chocolate even thought I will be the first to admit that I love raisins and oatmeal raisin cookies =)

The trick to the perfect cookie is to make sure they are not over baked so make sure you check on them regularly. It took me just 10 minutes before they where done but different stoves and even your location could change that. I would say check at 10 minutes and keep checking until your cookies are done. They will be perfectly done when your center is still soft and the edges are lightly brown. I let mine sit on the baking sheet and continue to slowly cook for 3-4 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.
