Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Over 20 years ago, my roommate and I would come home on the weekends from Auburn and spend time with my family. Oftentimes when we were home, my mom would make these oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.  My roommate and I would say they were so good, they were like treasures! 

We are still enjoying this same oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe today at family gatherings and now in my own home.  I cannot wait for you to try out this delicious cookie recipe. Let’s get started!

Ingredients for oatmeal chocolate chip cookies

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 2 tsp. vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups quick oats
• 6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
• optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts
