My prenatal class instructor gave us a little treat every time we went: cookies! She's an amazing baker and even though I wasn't suppose to, I did take a little nibble on a couple of occasions. Ohmigod, her cookies were delicious. I asked her for the recipe and unfortunately, she conveniently "forgot" to send it. I don't think she wanted to part with the secret.
Since then, I have been DREAMING of the chocolate oatmeal cookies she made. Tomorrow, I am going to attempt to recreate them!
This is the first recipe I'll try:

Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups quick-cooking oats
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until just blended. Mix in the quick oats, walnuts, and chocolate chips. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.
Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Update January 7, 2011:
Not bad, not bad!!! I omitted the walnuts from the recipe above but overall, 8 out of 10. They're a little chewier than the ones Alexis made (Mom complimented the moistness) and I think if I make these again I'll use 1/2 teaspoon less salt.
