Have you ever had one of those days where you just need cookies but its soo hot out and turning on the oven seems like the worst choice? Today was one of those days. But here we are.. Cookies and all.

It was the hottest day of the year at a whopping 28 degrees and all I wanted was a cookie.. actually I could go for a cookie everyday.

But today is Tom’s birthday and these are his favorite cookies. So really how could I say no to making these?!

They really are the perfect oatmeal chocolate chip cookie.

They have just the right amount of chocolate chips that compliment the subtle hint of cinnamon.

AND the edges are slightly crispy while the rest of the cookie is chewy.

These remind me of cookies my nana use to make when I was younger.

Now these cookies are sans raisins because there is nothing worse than thinking there are chocolate chip cookies on the counter and taking one bite and realizing you were wrong. Those were raisins not chocolate chips.

If raisins in your cookies are your cup of tea then no judgement here you can add some to the dough! I would probably reduce the chocolate chips and add in 1/4-1/2 cup of raisins.

This recipes makes 48 mini cookies. I normally bake about 12 of them and through the rest of the pre scooped dough into the freezer. It makes those days of just neeeding a cookie that much easier. Plus when you want just one four cookies you won’t have like 30 more cookies staring at your from your counter top and calling your name.
