          This cookie is a perfect giant oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, and it's just perfect. It has the perfect oats-to-cookie ratio and it's just amazing.

Notes

Instead of chocolate chips, you can make it an oatmeal raisin cookie by adding 1/2 cup raisins and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. This cookie looks like a regular chocolate chip cookie because it doesn't have much oats and you can't  taste them, but they're there.
