Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Out of all the cookie recipes I have tried, this one is most popular and never disappoints. My sister Kim requests I make these cookies for her on a daily basis. This recipe is adapted from the Quaker Oats Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. I have added and subtracted a few ingredients.

I add in chocolate chips instead of raisins (although both would be good too) and I love adding in 1/2 cup of shredded coconut. It doesn't over power the cookie and just gives a hint of sweet coconut flavor.

I hope your family requests these as much as mine does! Enjoy.
