The Recipe I Use for Chocolate Chip Cookies

• I used this recipe for the previous post.
• I love that these cookies contain oatmeal!
• It's the recipe my mom used when I was growing up.
  

Start:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 Degrees.

Cream the following together:

1. 1/2 pound butter
2. 1 cup white sugar
3. 1 cup brown sugar

Add:

1. 1 teaspoon vanilla
2. 1/2 teaspoon salt
3. 1 teaspoon baking soda
4. 1 teaspoon baking powder

Blend in:

1. 2 cups flour
2. 2 1/2 cups oatmeal
3. 12 ounce chocolate chips (I have replaced the chocolate chips with cherry chips, or used both. This is really good and different.)
4. 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts

Finish:

1. Bake until light brown.
2. Place on a cooling rack when they've hardened up a little.
3. They taste good warm (out of the oven), room temperature and cold (we sometimes freeze them).
