Oatmeal Chocolate Chip & Oatmeal Cinnamon Chip Cookies

I liked this recipe when I used it for Oatmeal Raisin cookies, so I thought I would try it again. While the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies were good, the Oatmeal Cinnamon Chip Cookies were better. The cinnamon chips seemed to work really well with the combination of cinnamon and cloves in the batter, really drawing out the cinnamon flavor.
