How Do You Keep Oatmeal Cookies Soft?

Variation to Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies
My kids love ants on a log or snowballs on a log, but they don’t like raisins in their cookies. To make these oatmeal cookies a little more appealing, I like to add chocolate chips. While this does add a little refined sugar, it is minimal and it gets the kids to actually eat them.
