Old Fashioned, Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Cookies!!

I find that WEATHER can set the MOOD for so many things. Today its slightly cooler...but there is a lovely breeze, pushing all the humidity and stale air out of the house.....its also the last week of school, MY TIME is slowly running out...soon it will be them fighting, yelling, not sharing...stating that they hate each other....wishing that they had their own room.....own space....  and declaring, while slouching on the couch,  "I'M BORED!!!" So while its still quiet, here is another Cookie recipe. There is nothing better than an Old Fashioned, Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Cookie...and shouldn't every bite of COOKIE have some CHOCOLATE in it?? YES!! Even before they were made....the smell of softened BUTTER being CREAMED together with BROWN SUGAR was QUITE COMFORTING!!! So after making these....and the smell still lingering about the house...relax...make a cup of tea and sink into your chair with a cookie!! Cheers!!!

Old Fashioned, Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies@Sherry Watton

Preheat Oven to 350

½ cup Butter(softened)

½ cup Brown Sugar and ½ cup White Sugar

2 eggs

2 cups of flour(just the regular All-Purpose Flour)

2tsp Baking Powder

2 cups of Oatmeal( I use the Large Flakes)

1 ½ cups of Chocolate Chips

Cream the Butter and the Sugars, once well blended, add the eggs and cream again…..NICE AND CREAMY!!!

In another bowl have the flour, B. Powder and Oatmeal mixed together. Add the dry ingredients to the wet. When it’s almost thoroughly mixed, I add the Chocolate Chips. Mix WELL!!

Then drop good-size Teaspoons of batter on the Cookie Sheet…I use parchment paper…easy peasy….once baked for about 12-13 minutes(start to check around the 11 minute mark…ovens vary..and depending on your GOOD-SIZE drops of COOKIE…it’s good to check)….I lift the parchment paper and cookies off the sheet and place it all on a cooling rack…easy!!! Line the cookie sheet with another sheet of parchment and you’re ready to go again…..makes 24 COOKIES!!
