cookie monster?

The other day I was "inspired" to bake some chocolate chip/oatmeal cookies. Why did I place
inspired in quotes, you ask? Because my "inspiration" came like this:

Me: "Hmm should I bake some cookies today?"
Heather: "YES! You should!!"
Me: "Um, okay..."

So that's how it happened. 
If you're like me, then you love cinnamon, too.
I always make a double batch because our family eats them....alot.
Those pictures make me want a cookie right now! Fortunately for you I have the recipe 
at the bottom.(;

Chocolate Chip/ Oatmeal Cookies:

1 stick softened butter
1/2-3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup nuts (optional)
1/2-3/4 cup chocolate chips (be sure not to forget those!)
2 cups quick oats

Heat oven to 350 F. Beat together butter and sugar until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; 
beat well. Add combined flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; mix well. Stir in chocolate 
chips, nuts, and oats.
Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 5-10 minutes or 
until golden brown on bottom. Cool and eat!
