#19) Chocolate Oatmeal Chippers

Yummo! These little sweet treats are chocolate lover's dream. Me, I love a good chocolate chip cookie, but this twist on a classic is scrumtious!!! The oats give the cookie a nice texture that stands up to a good glass of milk :) PS - I apologize for the short, sporadic posts, but school is eating up ALL of my time :(
