Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is my favorite way to eat oatmeal. In a cookie!
Warm cookies and cold milk, what a perfect combination!
 A favorite after school welcome home treat. I bake up one cookie sheet at a time.
After the batter is mixed, I roll them into little balls. I store them in a container in the refrigerator. That way I can then bake up as many as we want at a time. Fresh baked warm cookies, anytime!
 It's extra easy if you have a stand mixer. If not, a hand mixer works for most of the steps.
Adding the oatmeal, chocolate chips and chopped pecans last.
You will have a stiff batter. You can also do this part by hand with a good spatula or wooden spoon.
I use a meatball scoop to get even size balls.
Flatten them slightly and bake. Reserve the rest to bake later if you like. Sometimes I like to have them with coffee for breakfast!
