 Cream together butter and sugars.

 Add vanilla and eggs.  Mix well.

 Add dry ingredients and mix.

 Dough should look a little like this.

Add milk chocolate chips.   I love these chocolate chips.  Choose your favorite and add them to the bowl.

 Stir in oats.  You can use quick oats or old fashioned oats.

 Now its coming together.  The cinnamon takes these cookie over the top!

 Scoop the dough onto a sprayed or parchment-lined pan.

Hot out of the oven.  Mmmm.  Smells de-vine.

 Close-up.  Crunchy outside and chewy inside.  Exactly how a cookie should be.  These are for me...

 These are for my friends.

I hope they like these cookies.  They were made with lots of love!
