Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Last week, M came to visit for his spring break. He brought me some glorious provisions from Costco, including vanilla extract and 72 ounces of chocolate chips. He also brought me a giant ahi tuna steak. It's love.

I am sitting at home this evening, not feeling very well. I think it's one of those things where you have a slight relief of academic pressure and your body shuts down. Fun.

Anyway, I baked these cookies because those stupid chocolate chips were just taunting me and I had a ton of butter because Hy Vee was having a sale on butter.
