Vanishing Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies





These cookies are an all-time favorite. They taste sooo good and for some reason, just because they have oatmeal in them, I don't feel as guilty reaching to eat more :) The recipe is a Quaker recipe that I got from the lid of the Quaker Oats container.

You will need:
1 cup margarine or butter, softened (not melted)
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
3 cups Quaker Oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
1 cup chocolate chips (or raisins if you prefer)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Mix together margarine, sugar, eggs, and vanilla
3. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt
4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix. Then slowly stir in the Oats and add the chocolate chips.
5. Grease cookie sheets (this recipe makes two dozen)
6. Drop batter in big spoonfuls on cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until you notice a golden ring around the cookies.



Do not overbake these cookies, they won't look ready when you take them out.
Yummmmmmm
