Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

I'm not a big fan of oatmeal, but I learned how to use oatmeal in baking rather than eating it by itself. Well, this recipe sure did not disappoint! It's probably one of my favorite cookies right now. The oatmeal gives it a nice crunch and balances out the chocolate chips. 

 INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup butter, softened 
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 2 cups oatmeal
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS

1. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugars together.  
2. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well. 
3. Add dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda); mix well. 
4. Add oatmeal and chocolate chips. 
5. Place cookie dough in teaspoon increments onto a ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. 

Makes approximately 48 cookies.
