Chocolate Chip Cookies are all time my family favorite, be it watching TV, afternoon cozy read , evening tea or midnight hunger pangs, these cookies are like comfort food. So here comes the Chocolate Chip cookies in new Avataar with Oats and Almonds to add additional taste and flavor to regular cookies

Look at those gorgeous Oats cookies. One really cannot stop just eating after one. You can always substitute almonds with raisins or any other nuts of your choice. These cookies can be made both with rolled oats and instant Oats. They both render slightly different texture and taste to the cookies
Oatmeal (Rolled Oats) cookies tastes far better and has better texture than Instant Oats but it you do not have it, fret not, you can make them with Instant Oats too. Instant Oats Cookies do taste delicious
These cookies are crunchy and chewy, simple and easy to prepare, with flavors of Cinnamon.
** Incase you do not wish to bake cookies immediately, once you cling wrap the dough, store in airtight container. It will remain fresh for 1 week in refrigerator and 2 months in freezer
