Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Just until yesterday, I had the belief that Oatmeal cookies were not a dessert.

The word oatmeal screams breakfast. And sounds natural, rustic and healthy.
Desserts should be sweet, chewy and probably chocolatey.

When I began making these cookies, I pretty much had the intention of eating them before noon. After all, oatmeal cookies weren’t a dessert and I was using natural sugars.

When I tasted one, I realized I hadn’t been giving oatmeal cookies a fair chance. These cookies are natural, rustic and bit old fashioned, which I adore. I would also say they are healthy.
But guess what else?
They are sweet, chewy and pretty chocolatey.  I immediately retracted my judgement.

Oatmeal cookies are delicious for breakfast, dessert and everything in between!
