OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

A soft, tasty chocolate chip cookie recipe made even better with the addition of oats
     Why do I make so many chocolate chip cookies? It does seem like I am constantly making a new recipe! Part of the reason might be because they are so versatile that I am never short on new ideas. Another reason is that I bring a weekly batch of chocolate chip cookies over to my parents house, specially requested by my brother who lives with them. 
     This week is no different; I see it’s about that time again to deliver a fresh new supply of chocolate chip cookies. 
Since there’s no shortage of cookie ideas, I just run down my mental list to see which variations I have yet to try. 
Funny enough, I hadn’t yet recorded an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe! 
     I wanted to make one that wasn’t overwhelmed by oats, because a criticism I have about other oatmeal chocolate chip cookies I’ve tried is that they are too dry. There are so many oats that I basically end up choking. I didn’t want that.
     To try to alleviate some of that dryness, while also including oats (obviously), I am using instant oatmeal. I found that the brand of instant oatmeal I had contained about a 1/3 cup oats for each packet. So I used a nice round number of 1 cup of oats (three total packets). But make sure you measure your instant oatmeal if you use this method, because I don’t know if all brands are consistent with this measurement. I made an equal amount of flour, because I wanted a chocolate chip cookie with oatmeal, not an oatmeal cookie with chocolate chips
Even though there is less butter than usual, these turned out surprisingly rich! They are buttery and soft, and most importantly, NOT dry! 
     I may have to bake some more, because I can’t stop eating these… I hope you will enjoy these as much as I do. Try them out!
