Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

My oldest son wanted to make cookies last night, so went searching on Allrecipes.com for a new recipe to try. He made these cookies, and I'm a little aggravated at myself, because I had been doing really good not eating flour or sugar, and I CAVED IN to these! So, today, I have to get back on track and stay AWAY from these delicious cookies!
