Flat and crisp. My favorite recipe came from the back of a Chipits bag:

Chipits Oatmeal Cookies

1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1-1/2 cup all purpose flour (I sometimes do 50% whole wheat)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups quick oats
2 cups chocolate chips

Cream margarine, shortening & sugars. Beat in eggs & vanilla.

Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon & salt. Blend into creamed mixture.
Stir in oats & chocolate chips.

Drop from med. spoon onto greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 375ºF for 10-12 minutes. Yields 5 dozen.

NOTE: I usually make these in my food processor. If I only have rolled
oats on hand I don't transfer to a bowl until I've added the rolled oats and
have pulsed the food processor a few times.
