In the Cookie Jar -- Oatmeal Chocolate Chippers

.
This cookie recipe is an old standby at our house. When we want a gooey chocolate chipper, it's usually the one I turn to. They are crispy on the outside and chewy, gooey on the inside. The fact that it's an oatmeal cookie makes it better in my book, but the kids just know they taste great. The chocolate chips can be switched out with part butterscotch or peanut butter chips for a different kid-friendly flavor, or you can substitute a half cup of raisins or, my favorite, dried cherries, for a half cup of the chocolate chips.
