Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies

If you grew up where I did, you knew that every summer when the temperature reached a scorching 112 degrees, you could smell the drying raisins laying out in the vineyards. And every winter you'd see new people out pruning & tying vines. And if you grew up where I did, your probably just about as sick of eating raisins as I am. Problem is, Josh & I love oatmeal cookies. Thanks to The baker Chick, I found a great recipe with the perfect alternative: Chocolate.
