Ooey, Gooey, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Total Time: 18 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 13 mins

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 2 3/4 cups flour
• 1/2 cup quick oats
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

Recipe

• 1 cream butter and both sugars. (i like to cream them really well so i leave the mixer on while i do the next step.).
• 2 mix all dry ingredients (flour, oats, baking soda and salt) in a separate small bowl.
• 3 add 2 eggs, one at a time, to creamed ingredients.
• 4 add vanilla. mix well.
• 5 add dry ingredients a little at a time until it's all well incorprated. (mixture should be really thick and not real sticky. if too sticky, add extra flour 1 t. at a time until dry enough that you can pick up the dough and roll it without it sticking to your hands.).
• 6 mix in chocolate chips.
• 7 i roll these into about golf ball sized balls and bake at 350 for 12-13 minutes. take them out just as they are barely beginning to brown. the key is to not overbake these! let them cool for 2 minutes on the cookie sheet and then transfer to wire rack.
• 8 hint: if your cookies spread too much while baking, try putting the dough in the fridge for a while before baking up the next batch. if that doesn't work, add a bit more flour to it.
