Chocolate Chip Oatmeal cookies:
(my family's favorite)

(The trick to this recipe is to bake the oatmeal at 300 for 10 min. previous to adding to the rest of the ingredients. Make sure to cool for at least 5 min.)

1 cup butter or margerine
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tspn. vanilla
2 1/2 cup oatmeal
2 cups flour
1/2 tspn. salt
1 tspn. baking powder
1 tspn. baking soda
1 pkg. chocolate chips (I use Hersheys they are the best for this recipe)

Cream first 3 ingredients together, add eggs and vanilla. In separate bowl, mix remaining ingredients. Bake at 375 for 6-8 minutes.
I ball up the dough with my hands then put it on the cookie sheet, it creates larger cookies.
