Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients

1 cup flour
1.5 cups old fashioned oats
.5 tspn. baking soda
salt (to taste)
ciminimanin (to taste)
.5 cup margarine
.5 cup brown sugar
.25 cup white sugar
1 large egg
vanilla (measured with your heart)
1 cup chocolate chips

Recipe

Preheat oven to 350° F

Mix dry ingredients (flour, oats, salt, ciminimanin, baking soda)

Beat together fat and sugars

Beat in egg and vanilla

Add dry ingredients and mix

Add chocolate chips and mix

Spoon out into appropriate sized cookies on parchment-paper-lined baking sheet

Bake for 10-15 minutes (depending on size)

Notes

Do not use quick oats! It will drastically change the way the cookies come out! See travesty

Doubles nicely.

Can be mixed by hand (how I usually make’m, actually).

One might be tempted to add extra chocolate chips. 1 cup is plenty. Trust me.

Baking time will depend on how appropriately sized your cookies are, as well as the actual oven temp (as always). I usually give a cookie in the center of the tray a gentle poke and if it seems baked I take’m out 🤷‍♂️

They freeze well, and are pretty good straight from the freezer
