OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Ingredients

• 3/4 c. (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 c. granulated sugar
• 1 c. brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 ½ c. all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1/4 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 3 c. old-fashioned oats
• 1 ½ to 2 c. (8 to 12 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Beat butter with an electric mixer at medium speed until creamy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar; beat well until fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla extract; beat until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add to butter mixture and beat until just combined.
3. Gently stir in oats by hand until just combined; then stir in chocolate chips.
4. Use your hands to roll 2 tablespoons dough into a ball. Place on baking sheet and gently press down with the palm of your hand to flatten the dough ball just slightly. Repeat with remaining dough, spacing dough balls about 2 ½” apart on the baking sheet {so you’ll only get about 8 or 9 on the baking sheet at a time}.
5. Bake at 350℉ for 13 – 14 minutes, or until golden brown and set on the edges but still doughy looking in the middles. Let cool on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes, then place on a wire rack to cool completely.
