Chocolate Chip Cookies/ choc-oat-chip cookies

I really like this recipe it turns out every time I use it. Its just the toll house recipe.
If I want Choc-oat chips I just add 1 1/2 cups oats and 2 1/2-3 of cups Flour. you want the dough to not be super sticky you should be able to form a ball with your fingers sticking to the dough a little. I take them out when the sides a slightly brown and let them cook on the pan for awhile before moving to a rack. I think the secret to making great cookies is having fresh baking soda and the dough consistency.
