Meghan’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Meghan’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
½ tsp baking soda
1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
3 cups quick cooking oats
1 bag chocolate chips (or about 1 ½ cups raisins)
2 tablespoons cinnamon (optional… unless you use raisins, then its necessary)

1. Preheat oven to 325
2. Cream butter and sugars. Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Stir in vanilla.
3. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt. (and cinnamon, if using) Stir into creamed mixture until blended
4. Mix in quick oats and chips (or raisins)
5. Bake for 10-15 minutes (or until slightly soft, but starting to brown)

TIP: Only let them cool on the pan until you can slide them off without them falling apart. Transfer them to a plate, and cover with plastic wrap or tinfoil (or put in Ziploc bags) as soon as they are cool enough. This will prevent them from getting crunchy.. they will stay soft and chewy for a couple days….
