Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

We used to go door to door when we were kids selling cookies to make money. We would take a sheet around and people would sign up for homemade cookies. Then we would deliver them. We were called the "cookie kids" haha This is the recipe for the cookies we would sell. There were other variations but Ive always loved these most...

‘Cookie Kid’ Cookies

· 1 C. butter softened

· 1 tsp vanilla

· 2 eggs

· 1 C. sugar

· 1 C. brown sugar

· 1 tsp baking soda

· 1 tsp baking powder

· ½ tsp salt

· 2 ½ C. flour

· 1 ½ C. instant oatmeal

· 1 bag milk chocolate chips (Guittard are my favorite)

Preheat oven to 350. Beat butter & sugar 2 minutes on medium speed, scraping sides a few times. Add eggs & vanilla. Beat another 2 minutes. Add salt, soda and powder. Beat 30 seconds. Add flour about ½ C. at a time, mixing well between each addition. Stir in oatmeal and chocolate chips. Drop by tablespoons onto an un-greased cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 min.

*Substitute white chocolate chips for the milk chocolate and add chopped macadamia nuts for a "Hawaiian" cookie!
