Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Like nearly every cookie lover, chocolate chip cookies are among my favorites.  I wanted something slightly different, though, so I decided on seeking out a recipe for ones with oatmeal in them (you know, to give them that 'healthy' feel lol!)  And oh, what treasure I found!  These. are. incredible.  Seriously.  And very chocolatey.  Mmmm.  I could eat more right now...

Original recipe:

http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/chocolate-chip-oatmeal-cookies-recipe

Ingredients:

1 c. unsalted butter, softened/room temperature
1/2 c. light brown sugar
1/2 c. dark brown sugar
1/2 c. sugar
1 large egg and 1 large egg yolk
1 T. vanilla
2 c. unbleached all-purpose flour (not sure if the unbleached is essential)
1 c. quick oats (or old-fashioned)
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. kosher salt (or 3/4 tsp. regular salt; I used the kosher and recommend it)
3 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Heat oven to 325°F.  Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

2. Beat butter and all sugars together until fluffy and smooth.

3. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla.  Beat well.

4. Add flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.  Mix until well combined.

5. Mix in chocolate chips by hand.

6. Scoop cookies onto prepared baking sheet.  (I used a medium cookie scoop, which holds 1 1/2 T. of dough.  The cookies came out about the size of my palm.  You can make smaller or larger ones, too, according to original recipe.)

7. Bake cookies 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown at edges.  They will still look slightly shiny in centers--this is ok.  (I went 14 minutes.)

8. After removing from oven, leave cookies on sheet for at least 5 minutes before transferring to rack.

9. Grab some milk and enjoy a lot!
