Choc-Oat cookies.

Ingredients:

1 egg

1 cup of butter (yup, that is two entire sticks)

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 1/4 cup of flour (add 1/4 for high altitude)

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt (optional)

1 1/2 cup of Quaker oats

1 package of chocolate chips

Heat oven to 375

Mix butter (softened), sugars, and egg together well.

Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt gradually (oops, clearly from the photo I did not stir these things in gradually, but they still turned out perfectly!).

Stir in chocolate chips and oatmeal.

Make inch round cookie dough balls and place on non-stick cookie sheet. Bake for 8-9 minutes and let them sit on the pan for a few minutes before taking them off (this is a lesson in self control).

And dig in! Husband loves these cookies :)

(By the way, baking is so much more fun with a cute apron on!)
