Happy National Chocolate Chip Day!

A couple of days ago, while checking out my friends' Matchbook Magazine's tumblr blog I discovered on their August calendar that today was to be National Chocolate Chip Day so in honor of that I am going to post the actual Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe on here for everyone to enjoy! Thanks to the Matchbook girls for letting us know of this day! xoxo -Nadia
