This afternoon while J. was supposed to be napping (which he never did), A. and I made some cookies. Cooking, especially baking, is one of A.'s favorite things to do. So, as she stood on my kitchen step-stool, she poured the ingredients in as I measured them. She took some home to eat after dinner and my DH was very happy to have some "goodies" as well. I thought that I would share the recipe. I hope you enjoy them!

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In large bowl, beat margarine and sugars until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Add combined flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; mix well. Add oats and raisins; mix well.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheets; remove to wire rack. Cool completely. Store tightly covered.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip are my most favorite cookie EVER!! We have Amana, IA nearby and several restaraunts make an oatmeal chocolate chip pie. While I can polish off an unseemly amount of the cookies--the pie is so rich, I can't reliably eat a single slice!
The Oatmeal Pie sounds delicious.
