The cold weather lingers on here in Upper Michigan so I thought it was a good time to warm the kitchen up a little bit with some baking. The sweets that were left over from the Holidays, that were in the freezer, are gone; so I took this opportunity to replenish the supply.
These Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies are delicious, and the local market had dark chocolate chips on sale which tempted me a little more. This is a very simple recipe; so simple, I would give it a cannot fail status. You could easily turn this into a Raisin Oatmeal cookie by substituting the raisins for the chocolate chips; a lot healthier I’m sure, or you could use a combination of both. There is very little prep or cooking time involved so you can have cookies on the table in less than a half an hour.

- Using a mixer gradually mix in the flour mixture and milk. Fold in the oatmeal and chocolate chips.
- Spoon onto sprayed cookie sheets a rounded tablespoon at a time. (The size is optional just be sure to allow room for the cookies to spread)

- Allow cookies to cool for a couple of minutes on the cookie sheet-then finish cooling on a wire rack.
