Notes
These cookies are best served warm, straight from the oven. Pair with a glass of cold milk for a classic treat. For extra chewiness, try adding a little more oats or using quick oats instead of rolled oats. You can experiment with different types of chocolate chips like dark, milk, or white chocolate. Consider adding chopped nuts for flavor.
