No-Fail Oatmeal Chocolate Chippers
No Fail Oatmeal Chocolate Chippers are chocolate chip cookies made with ground oatmeal. The dough has less fat than most and over the years I've wondered if it was a typo in the recipe. However, I kind of like the version as is even with the lower than usual amount of butter.

Notes
Make sure to measure the flour with a very light hand or weigh it. If you use too much flour, the dough will be too dry.
