These are delicious and even a bit healthy with the oatmeal, right???

chocolate chip oaties

chocolate chip oaties

makes 2 dozen

1 stick softened butter

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 egg

1 1/4 cup rolled oats

1 cup AP flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup chocolate chips (roughly chopped to make sure some chocolate melts right into the dough)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.  Cream butter, sugar, and vanilla.  Beat in egg until just combined.  Finish with wooden spoon, fold in oats.  Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and fold into mixture.  When almost incorporated, add chocolate.  Scoop into one inch balls and flatten slightly on prepared trays.  Bake for 8 – 10 minutes and cool on rack.

(you could also add 1/2 cup toasted and chopped hazelnuts or pecans)

    I always put oatmeal in my chocolate chip cookies. The funny thing is that hardly anyone notices, but it makes me feel like I’m getting extra fiber! lol
