Oatmeal chocolate chip

Sweets in the springtime go hand in hand. So do sweets in the summer, fall and winter, but let’s not linger on that for too long. Since our family loves to have a full cookie jar I began to look for lighter recipes or ways to modify current faves so our scale won’t reflect all the indulging our bellies enjoy. I made these oatmeal chocolate chip cookies using a recipe from Cooking Light magazine which originally called for white chocolate chips and strawberries. My son isn’t a mega-fan of strawberries, so I left those out and substituted semi-sweet chocolate chips for white chocolate ones; they tasted wonderful!
