Dear Reader,
Oatmeal or chocolate chip? What's your favorite?
I've always assumed chocolate chip cookies were everybody's favorite. But then the other day, when I shared my oatmeal cookie recipe, I asked readers, "What's your favorite? Oatmeal or chocolate chip?" I never would have guessed it, but oatmeal emails outnumbered chocolate chip.
I love to bake and every month it's my pleasure to bake two dozen chocolate chip cookies for three lucky book club readers. Be sure to enter today's giveaway...but now I'm not sure if I'll be sending chocolate chip cookies, or oatmeal cookies!

Thanks for weighing in, some reader replies...
"Hi Suzanne, thank you for the oatmeal cookie recipe. My answer to your question: both kinds are delicious! I'm sure whoever wins your homemade cookies would be delighted to receive either. I know I was when I won two/three years ago." -- Melinda
"I'm with you--I add chocolate chips to oatmeal cookies, too. Some people add raisins, which I think ruins the cookie. I think most people would be pleased to get any kind of cookie, but my preference would be good ol' chocolate chip." -- Susan
"Dear Suzanne, it was a general question (chocolate chip or oatmeal), yet you do always seem so sincere when you ask, so tonight I decided to answer. I think oatmeal cookies in the winter are far better than chocolate chip. There's nothing wrong with chocolate chip cookies, but oatmeal cookies give me a more warm, cozy feeling with a cup of tea or warm milk.
There you have it, my vote for a delicious winter cookie--oatmeal it is! (And of course, a few chocolate chips tossed in would make them even better.) Oh dear, now I want an oatmeal cookie and there's no oatmeal in the house to make them tonight. I'll take care of that tomorrow. Thank you for allowing me to be a little silly this evening. Enjoy!" -- Mary
"One of my favorite cookies is Oatmeal Chocolate Chip. They are the best. Raisins are a great addition too." -- Lynne
"Oatmeal cookies are my all-time favorite. I use the recipe on the carton of Quaker Oats. Sometimes I add raisins." -- Mary Lou
"I like oatmeal best." -- Peggy T.
