Cindy’s Famous Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Cream together:

1 cup real butter (salted) (2 sticks)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar

Add:  

2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

–

–

Combine together:

2 cups flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of baking soda
And add slowly to the creamed mixture as you are mixing it.

Add to mixture:   

2 1/2 cups oatmeal (Not the 1 minute quick cook)

Add 12 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips.

–

–

Place by large spoonfuls on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 9 or 10 minutes.  (And make sure to lick the spoon!)

–

–

Every oven is different and the key is don’t over bake.  Take them out of the oven just when they become lightly browned.  As they cool, they will harden.

–

–

Enjoy one (or four) with a cold glass of milk. And be prepared to share.

Maybe they’ll be in your family for generations, too.
