Oatmeal, Raisin and Chocolate Chip Cookies

The cookie monster continues its forage into the world of cookies and what a wonderful world it is. Cookies are definitely one of my favourite snacks and I find it hard to resist especially a nice homemade cookie. Not a very original idea this time, just a combination of the different cookies I've been making recently. Having all these ingredients to hand might have a small part to play in the choice of cookies :) I roughly made up the recipe myself based on all the cookies I've been baking recently.

So how do you make some of these?
