Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

My daughter and I often enjoy cooking and baking together. Lately, we have also been trying to get a little more creative with snacks and meals to incorporate more milk into our diets. These Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are fun to bake together and are a great snack or dessert to go with a cold glass of TruMoo or DairyPure brand milk to keep your kids happy and and strong.

Our day starts off with milk in our cereal or milk as a beverage with our meal. My daughter willingly drinks milk in the mornings, but sometimes has a hard time drinking it any other time of day without making compromises. However, she does love chocolate milk, so TruMoo has been the perfect way to keep her smiling while getting the nutrition she needs. It has NO high fructose corn syrup and a delicious taste kids love!!

DairyPure brand milk and TruMoo both contain no artificial growth hormones* and come from your local dairy, making them the perfect pair for your diets!

*No significant difference has been shown between milk derived from cows treated with the artificial growth hormone rbST and non-rbST-treated cows.
