chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe!

chewy chocolate chip cookies ...(these are so good & a staple at our house)

1 cup softened butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla

1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt

3 cups oats
1 cup chocolate chips (i use 1 1/2 cups!)

cream butter & sugars together until very fluffy & light, about 4-5 minutes on a medium/high mixer setting. beat in eggs, 1 at a time, each for 1-2 minutes or until fully incorporated. add vanilla & beat for another minute.

mix flour, baking soda, & salt in separate bowl. stir into butter mixture until just blended.

stir in oats & chocolate chips until blended. drop by spoonfuls onto cookie sheets. cookies are done baking when they are still slightly 'gooey' b/c they harden a bit when cooling.

bake in a 325 degree oven for approx. 12 minutes.

dunk in very cold milk.
