This recipe was adapted, using the comments, from here.
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tablespoons (seriously!) vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (I used part whole wheat)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar for 3 mins. I have a cookie recipe that has you do this so I always do it when making cookies. It seems to do something.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
- Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until just blended. Mix in the quick oats, and chocolate chips.
- Put them in the fridge for 2 hours or so. I dont know why but I made one pan worth and they spread too much, then I decided I didnt want to make all the cookies that min and I remembered a review saying to do this. The rest came out absolutely perfect!
- Bake for 12 minutes at 325 Let them sit for a bit. They get cooked more and then they dont fall apart.

Looks like a good recipe! I love oatmeal chocolate chip! One thing I totally agree with is to use quick oats. I learned this the hard way--since Adam and I prefer to eat oatmeal made out of the traditional oats, I had these on hand and used them in cookies. However, because they are bigger and you aren't boiling the heck out of them, they make a less than ideal texture for the cookie. I still ate them, but the quick oats are better, now I know!
