There's something about the fruity spice that complements the chewy texture from the oatmeal so well. If I'm having chocolate chip in a cookie, I want it to be a buttery, gooey one.
Agreed, the chocolate chip cookie is the cookie of degenerates like cookie monster. Nameless shifty formed addicts who break into their friends and families homes to steal cookies and vcrs to pawn for more cookies.. Shameful, truly is.
