Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Cookies are easy, but hard. I love the making of them, but I certainly don’t like putting them on the pan and cooking them. I don’t really know when cookies are done and when they aren’t. And I love the smell of cookies throughout the entire making. And of course, eating them. I got this recipe of All Recipes http://allrecipes.com/recipe/chewy-chocolate-chip-oatmeal-cookies/, which I am on lots to get new recipes to try. And, YUM, these cookies are AWESOME! Here it is.

       Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

1 cup (1 block) butter, softened

1 cup red sugar (if you have brown sugar you can use that)

½ cup white sugar

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 & ¼ cup all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon baking soda

¾ teaspoon salt

3 cups quick-cooking oats

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

·         In a large bowl, cream together the butter, red (brown) sugar, and white sugar til’ smooth (you can do this part by hand, they still turn out great). Beat in eggs ONE at a time, then stir in vanilla.

·         Preheat the oven to 165C (325F).

·         In another bowl, combine flour, soda, and salt. Stir into the creamed mixture til’ just blended. Mix in oats and chocolate chips. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto UNgreased baking sheets.

·         Bake for 8-12 mins in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for5 mins before putting on a wire rack to cool completely (if you don’t have a wire rack you can just put the cookies on a plate).
