COOKING: THE ABSOLUTE BEST EVER CHOCOLATE CHIP OATMEAL COOKIES

Yet another wonderful Emily’s Aunt recipe! My oh my what would I do without Emily’s aunt. When I say the “Absolute Best Ever Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies” I really mean it. This is the type recipe that people have a bite of a cookie and beg you for the recipe. 

You can make the “Absolute Best Ever Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies” either crunchy or soft and

Cookie Jar always almost empty!

gooey...personally I like my cookies soft and wonderfully gooey. In order to get them that way I NEVER bake them for nine minutes. Normally I bake them for 4 to 5 minutes - depending on how large I make the cookies. Make sure they are just turning lightly golden brown on top and pull them out. Do not be scared they will come out looking not quiet done but let them sit and they will be perfect.

Be forewarned that I normally cut the recipe in half. If you make the whole thing make sure your mixer is up for the challenge.
