Chocolate chip - and anyone who thinks otherwise is a monster. ;)
Unless you mean oatmeal raison cookies; whose reason is oatmeal. Then I'm just confused!

Do you think using vision aids (glasses, contacts) makes your vision worse?
No, that's an illusion based on the fact that your vision IS worse.
