Mom`s Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

These are the chocolate chip cookies I grew up with, and they're always irresistibly good.

  • 1 Cup Butter and/or Margarine (half and half works well)
  • 1 1/4 Cups Brown Sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 1/4 Cup Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 Cup chocolate Chips
In the mixer, with paddle, whip together Butter and Brown Sugar until well combined.

Add the Eggs, one at a time, and Vanilla.  Mix until well combined and creamed.

Add the Flour, Baking Soda, Salt, and Cinnamon and mix briefly until uniform.  

Add the Rolled Oats, and mix until just combined.

Add the chocolate chips and mix until just combined.  

Scoop cookies onto baking sheet, press flat, and bake at 350F for 10 to 14 minutes.  Cool on pan for 5 minutes.  Remove, and let cool on wire rack.
