Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie Recipes

Both of these chocolate chip oatmeal cookie recipes are easy to make and yummy to eat. One recipe is for drop cookies and the other for bar cookies. The oatmeal gives them a chewy texture. Obviously, if you overbake the cookies, they might lose that chewy texture.

There are several decorative methods to present these chocolate chip oatmeal cookie recipes as gifts. You can wrap each cookie individually in Saran type of wrap or place several in a decorative cello bag; these bags are readily available in most party supply stores. To hold the bags closed, simply tie with a narrow ribbon or even a piece of twine, which gives a rustic look.

Once you have wrapped the cookies so they won't collect dust, you can place them in a tin box, small basket, small shopping bag, or include as a gift in any of your homemade gift baskets.
