Old-Fashioned Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups quick-cooking oats
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

1.  Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

2.  In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.  Beat eggs in one at a time, then stir in vanilla.

3.  Combine flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until well-blended.

4.  Mix in the oats and chocolate chips.  Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet.

5.  Bake for 12 minutes, or until golden brown.  Allow cookies to cool completely before transferring them from the baking sheet.

Makes about three dozen cookies.

If you are the type of person who loves oatmeal cookies, then head to the store and grab the above listed ingredients now!  This recipe makes a good, basic cookie.

My whole family is full of "cookie monsters".  Soft and little chewy in the inside, and a light crunch around the edge.  These cookies remain chewy and moist for days to come.

Adding cinnamon adds a little twist.  You can also add dried cranberries, chopped walnuts, toffee bits, or white chocolate chips too!

Most people can not wait to let them cool down before devouring them!
