Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies!!

Chocolate chip cookies are one of my favoritest things in the world. I live for them. This recipe is really easy to make and more importantly, really easy to remember! It's my go-to recipe for get togethers, or for whenever I get the munchies (which is a lot).

Ingredients:

• 2 sticks butter (this recipe makes a lot of cookies, don't worry)
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups white (all purpose) flour
• 1 cup oatmeal (if you're not a huge fan of the oatmeal, you can just use an extra cup of white flour)
• Chocolate chips to taste (I put... well, a lot. ;-) )

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Soften butter slightly in microwave (I usually put the sticks in a bowl and nuke them for about 20 seconds).
3. Combine butter and both kinds of sugar and mix in mixer until smooth.
4. Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix until smooth. The mixture should have a little bit of an airy texture to it now from the beaten eggs.
5. Add flour and oatmeal and mix until it's completely incorporated.
6. Cover cookie sheets with foil.
7. Drop cookie dough in spoonfuls on to cookie sheet (try to refrain from eating!!). I usually like to roll the cookie dough into little balls before dropping them on the sheet so they come out nice and round, but you don't have to.
8. Bake in oven for about 7-10 minutes. If you like your cookies to stay chewy (the boy is very particular about the chewiness of the cookies), bake them until the bottoms look like they're just starting to turn brown and then pull them out. The tops might still look slightly uncooked, but don't worry, they'll set and harden a little once you pull them out of the oven. If you like your cookies crunchier, let them go an extra couple of minutes.
9. Try to give them a couple of minutes to cool (I know it's hard, but they'll just fall apart if they're too hot).
10. Dunk warm cookies in a glass of milk, stuff in mouth, and be joyful.

Makes about 40-50 cookies.
