Growing up I never liked oatmeal cookies because they had raisins. But when I found this recipe under the lid of the Quaker Oats Box, I thought I'd substitute the raisins with chocolate and see if I liked it. And I LOVE THEM!

This isn't my photo, but they look exactly like my cookies. So to me it's a good representation of mine :)

yield A lot (Makes 4 dozen small cookies)

Ingredients

2 sticks butter (1/2 lb.), softened
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 - eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon

How To Make chocolate chip oatmeal cookies

Step 1

Beat together butter & sugars, until creamy. Then once creamy beat for another minute on med-high speed.

Step 2

Add eggs & vanilla. Beat until well incorporated.
Step 3

In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; mix together very well. Then add the flour mixture to the butter & sugar mixture. Beat slowly until well incorporated. DO NOT OVER-BEAT (meaning once it is fully incorporated, stop the machine and move to next step)
Step 4

Stir in oats and chocolate chips. Beat slowly until incorporated.
Step 5

Drop by rounded Tablespoons onto un-greased cookie sheet. And bake for 9-12 minutes. Longer for crispier cookies, less time for softer cookies. (I prefer the softer ones)
Step 6

Once the cookies are done, let them sit on the cookie sheet for at least one minute and then move to a cooling rack. Enjoy!!
