Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

"Growing up my mother could only bake a few recipes well and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies were one of her specialties. We knew it was going to be a good day when we got off the school bus and saw a big plate full of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies waiting for us! My mom passed away in 2012 and I still miss her every day. I feel that when I bake these that she is right beside me, prompting me to put an extra half cup of chocolate chips in the batter ;) She knew how to have fun in the kitchen!"
