Chocolate Chip Oat Cookies

So, today I was in the mood for something sweet and warm. My dad bought me this awesome cookie book for Christmas, The COOKIE book, and I found this awesome recipe.

I only had whole wheat flour, and no brown sugar, so I had to use all white sugar, but it turned out amazing!! *Now... when using whole wheat flour you need to understand that is soaks up more liquid than the white flour.

1 cup plain (all purpose flour) or 3/4 cup whole wheat flour.

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 tsp baking powder

pinch of salt

1/2 cup butter or margerine (at room temperature, diced)

1/2 cup refined sugar

1/2 cup soft light brown sugar

1 egg

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup plain (semisweet) chocolate chips.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, F. Lightly grease two or three baking sheets.

2. Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder adn salt into mixing bowl and set aside.

3. With an electric mixer, cream together the butter or margarine, and the sugars. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until light and fluffly.

4. Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed until thoroughly blended. Stir in the rolled oats and chocolate chips. The dough should be crumbly. Drop heaped teaspoonfuls on to the prepared baking sheets, spacing dough about 1 inch apart.

5. Bake for about 15 min until just firm around the edges, but still soft to touch in the center. Transfer cookies to wire rack and leave to cool.

Enjoy!!
