Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Delights (because they are delightful)3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional but totally recommended)
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (optional but also totally recommended)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups rolled oats
1. In a large mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powdered, baking soda, and, if desired, cinnamon and cloves (but totally recommended- by the way). Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour. Stir in rolled oats. (As you continue to stir in flour you may begin to think that "Okay, this is too much flour! I still have to add OATS!" I think that every time! Just keep stirring :) At the last minute it comes together for me and is like the perfect cookie dough from heaven ... angels start to sing, harps begin to play, your kitchen fills with light... it's great). Once cookie dough from heaven is combined I make it even more heavenly by adding my choc-o-late chips (or whatever I'm in the mood for).
2. Drop dough by rounded spoon 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are golden. Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool. (Then I would add: ENJOY! Recipes never include that step!) - One thing I really love about this recipe is how beautifully consistent it is. The dough always looks and feels the same - and the finished product is the same every time. I really appreciate the dependability :)
***I will add my personal note that I have tried these and they are DELICIOUS!

Mmmmmm! Those look yummy! I love oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips and stuff in them :)
I made them and they didn't look anything like the picture...but they were still SO good. Thanks for the recipe!
yum! I will try these, and also I am making a request, for the recipe on those molten chocolate dessert that you made for the sister missionarys!
I love the step that says "Enjoy!" When Bill was overseas and I lived in Kuna,Aunt Kathy gave me a wonderful cookie recipe, she added "Call me when you make these". So I wrote at the bottom of the recipe, "call Kathy"...Over the years everytime I made the cookies I would then call Kathy...It was a fun tradition.
Oh my gooooodness! Thank you thank you thank you! I'm SO glad you like them !!!! You are so wonderful for spreading the goodness :) and for your kind words :)
I tried making these again and they were a million times better. So good! I don't know what went wrong last time but this recipe is a keeper.
I am making these for mothers day, we are having mommies come over for dinner. I have been looking for a good oatmeal recipe for a long time, i hope it looks like the picture :)
I made these and the dough was super sticky and then when I baked them they ended up really dry. I loved the flavor though so I was wondering if it had something to do with where I live, does humidity and/or elevation make a big difference?
That is possible...I wonder if there is a way to convert this recipe for that factor! :) hmm...will look into it.
