Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  5. Add oatmeal (3/4 c) and semi-sweet chocolate chips (1/2 c) and mix until combined.
  6. Using a tablespoon, place on a parchment paper-covered (or greased) cookie sheet ~1 inch apart from each other (I usually fit 12 on one 11x13 cookie sheet).
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until a light brown color.
  8. Leave on hot cookie sheet for 2-3 minutes then transfer to parchment paper/cooling rack to completely cool.
  9. Enjoy while warm or after they've cooled!
  10. Cookies will keep in an air tight container on the counter for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to one month.*

Notes

*Yes, you can freeze cookies! It's the absolute best way to prepare an easy sweet treat ahead of time. Take out of the freezer and pop in the oven for 5-10 minutes at 350 degrees. Your guests will never know the difference!
