Stuck on what type of cookies to make for dessert!
Okay, so I love to make cookies and right now the weather here is perfect for them. The problem is that I have two really good recipes BUT I can't decide between oatmeal chocolate chip or regular chocolate chip cookies for dessert tonight. I love both types yet I really don't have the time to make both (plus I don't need that many cookies sitting around the house tempting me). I know this topic kinda sounds trivial but any inputs/ opinions would be greatly appreciated. What type of cookie would you want on a nice cool (65 degrees!) summer evening?

Thanks for all the input and suggestions :). The funny thing was that some friends ended up visiting so I ended up mixing up both kinds (as one is a health nut and will only eat cookies she deems has some healthy aspect while the others aren't big fans of oatmeal in general). Good thing they were willing to help out since it took quite a bit of effort and time to bake two different batches, but then again we all had a lot of fun trying to outdo each other making shapes with the cookie dough. All in all it was totally worth it (especially since they took home the leftovers so I wouldn't be tempted, not that there were many left...).

My favourite new recipe is the chewy by Alton Brown.
Also I love a chocolate based cookie with white chocolate chips and dried cherries, so good!Those are pretty much the only two that I tend to make, not a fan of oatmeal so I'll say go with chocolate chip :)

What about combining the two and making Mrs Fields aka Nieman Marcus chocolate chip cookies that uses grounded oatmeal? It's hearty for a cool evening. You can cut the recipe in half. Twenty years ago, this was my go-to recipe but I stopped making it long ago. Recently someone brought it to a function and it brought back memories.
