Choc Oatmeal Cookies

I got this recipe from my sis-in-law, Sarah (again) and it is a big hit in this household. Not that Lyndon eats biscuits but Monet and I surely can. It is a very easy recipe and Monet likes to get involved with this one. The mixture, before it is cooked, is scrumptious so maybe keep the kids away before baking!!
