• 8: Cool well, preferably on a wire rack, before serving.

Remarks

For the chocolate chips, you can mix half dark chocolate and half milk chocolate.
As always with cookies, it's best if they're slightly undercooked, so keep a close eye on the end.
It's very easy to vary the toppings on the cookies, e.g. replace the chocolate with raisins, replace 1/4 of the oats with chopped nuts, etc.
