Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

FEBRUARY 4, 2013  /  TODD VAN PATTER  / 

We found these cookies on All Recipes, and they're a home run. Chewy, hearty, not overly sweet, and full of fun textures from oats, chocolate chips, and walnuts. They're pretty quick to make, and everyone we offered them to were raving about how good they were.

Granted, it's not too hard to like something that has so much butter, sugar, and chocolate in it, but it's also not always easy to find a reliable cookie recipe that you know will be a hit. Let this recipe be a great new addition to your "Sometimes Food" list, and share these cookies with some people who could use some sweet encouragement!
