This recipe comes from a cookbook called: "America's Best Cookbook for Kids With Diabetes". (I figured it is a pretty good cookbook for anyone with diabetes though)...It was written in 2005 by C Bartley. A friend gave me the book and the recipes that I have tried are awesome.

Make crisp cookies by baking them for the maximum time suggested or make soft cookies by cooking then about 2 minutes less than minimum suggested baking time. Dietitian's Message: Rolled oats add texture to this classic cookie and contain soluble fiber, which will help slow the absorption of glucose from the chocolate chips and sugar.
