Scrape side of bowl, then stir in oats and chocolate.
Bake dough right away; if allowed to sit, cookies will be dry.
Drop dough by 2 tablespoon portions onto 2 lightly oiled 12x15 inch baking sheets, spacing evenly.
Dip fingertips in granulated sugar, then pat cookies into ⅓ inch thick rounds.
Bake in a 350℉ (180℃) oven until pale golden, about 10 minutes; switch pan positions after 5 minutes. Lift to racks; eat warm or cool.
Makes about 25.
