I imagine this is how cavemen made cookies back in the day.

All you really need to do is put the ingredients in a pot, bring it to a boil, add quick cooking oats, and voila--rich, earthy chocolate oatmeal cookies in 10 minutes flat. Be prepared for a delicately fudgy, extra chewy, almost gelatinous consistency; it won't have the cake-like texture that comes from flour. Instead, it will charm you with primitive homemade flavors that uses the most basic ingredients--and rocks them.

Some tips.
1. If you want a more wholesome taste, add more oats to the mix (this recipe is BIG on chocolate flavor).
2. Dip it in vanilla yogurt! It will take this cookie experience to whole new levels of AWESOME.
