Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
"I’m not going to mince words: oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are maybe the greatest things in existence. I had a feeling this would be true when I found a perfectly delicious recipe for oatmeal raisin cookies — I thought to myself, “I know how I can make this even better…” So, I exchanged the raisins for chocolate chips and, I probably don’t have to tell you, I was totally right. It’s nothing against raisins. They’re great! I just like chocolate more."
