cowboy cookies

I used to make these cookies all the time growing up. I'm pretty sure it was just so I could snitch the dough! If you are craving oatmeal chocolate chip cookies these will not disappoint. Take them out of the oven a minute before you think they are done that way they are super soft. They are especially good frozen. Sounds weird I know, but try it! I actually prefer most cookies frozen.
