Cowboy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies image

These are the best cookies I ever made. In fact they are the only ones my kids will let me make lol. I usually double the recipe cause my family gobbles them up quicker then I can make them. I suggest you give them a try, I bet your family will enjoy them as much as mine.
