Wow, these are delicious oatmeal cookies. A cross between an oatmeal cookie and a chocolate chip cookie, you get the best of both worlds in every bite. They're a copycat found at Potbelly sandwich shops (hence, the almost Potbelly name). Chewy and tender, have a cold glass of milk handy for dipping.
