Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

I love Pinterest. Every time I need something to eat, I can just hop on there and find a million ideas. This week I was in the mood for some oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I haven't made cookies in quite awhile, and I thought I'd choose some oatmeal cookies because oatmeal helps boost milk supply (in case you didn't know that handy tip, breastfeeding mamas) so I figured Boston could fatten up too.

These were really good. They had just enough oats to stay soft and only slightly chewy. I really prefer my cookies to be cakey so these were great for me. I liked the combination of chocolate and butterscotch, but feel free to omit one or the other because it is pretty powerful. What I dug most about this recipe though was the hint of cinnamon. It really put them over the edge. I would absolutely make these again.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go eat cookies til I get sick. They're that damn good.
