I think everyone loves a good chocolate chip, oatmeal cookie!

These cookies were a staple in our house when I was a kid. I found this recipe in my mom's old, worn recipe box next to another old favourite, Nanaimo bars. I just had to try baking them at home, as I'm sure you will be too. They are loaded with energy: oatmeal, chocolate, butter, and sugar!
