These cookies are called "Cowboy Cookies" in the one little cookbook I have. I have absolutely no idea why they have that name, but they are delicious. These are an extra good version of chocolate chip cookies that just happen to have oatmeal in them. The cookies are nice and soft and chocolatey. I do suggest you make these. I will be making them again!
The dough seemed a bit too sticky after I mixed everything together, so I added a few tablespoons of extra flour to fix that problem. Whenever I have sticky chocolate chip cookie dough, the cookies end up as flat and melted blobs. You can add some extra flour at the beginning or wait and see how the dough turns out if you follow the recipe.
