What is your favorite cookie combo?

No matter what is in my cookie, it has to be chewy in the middle and slightly crispy around the edges. Chocolate is always a bonus and I sometimes enjoy a bit of texture like nuts or oatmeal.

I have friends who have claimed this is their all time favorite once they’ve made it.

These Chocolate Oatmeal cookies have the perfect amount of oatmeal sprinkled with creamy chocolate chips. For me it’s all about the chewiness!

I personally love a good mix of milk chocolate and semi-sweet. It just balances it all out!
