Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

As you may have heard (or seen in your insta and/or facebook feed), much of the East was hit by Jonas last weekend. In Pittsburgh we got a little of it, but not nearly as much as some of the other cities.  As a fun experiment, I let my cat go outside in it. For some reason, she LOVES the snow. She is obsessed with it. I’ve created a monster. It wasn’t quite love at first sight though, and it took her a minute to get used to it. Here is a pic of her first attempt outside. She didn’t make it far:

While we didn’t get as much snow as I would have liked, I’ll take the 4 or so inches that we got. It was enough snow to make me feel entitled to curl up in blankets and make fresh cookies.

Since I was downing cups of hot chocolate like it was my job, I felt it was only appropriate to make chocolate chip cookies  (for dunking purposes). I have made SO many chocolate chip cookies lately (see my cookie project). I decided to mix it up a little bit and throw in some oatmeal. These cookies were exactly what I wanted – gooey and melty and delicious and a perfect compliment to my hot cocoa.

The only issue I had with these cookies was that I almost ate all the dough raw…. it was that good (is that a real issue?).
