Notes

• We use chocolate chunks, but chips will also work (though you may want to ratchet down the quantity as there is less air space between chips than with chunks).
• Add a quarter cup of cocoa powder into the mix (and if you want to keep proportions, either remove some flour or add in a bit of milk) to make these chocolate oatmeal chocolate chunk cookies.
