On Chocolate Chip Cookies (The Remake)

I’m reposting this cookie recipe, which I just made recently for the two men while we were in-law-less this week, and I realized…I may have misprinted the recipe and needed to redig for it. SO I DID and I was WAY off…so I have adjusted the recipe and NOW it should be correct. Man oh man, what was I thinking?!?! Hoping you all are staying well and healthy.

Momma’s Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

1 cup butter (softened or straight from the fridge – does not matter!)
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups oatmeal, slightly ground up
1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 bag of chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your over to 375°F. Prepare your baking sheets with either parchment paper, or silicone pads.
Put your oats in a processor/blender until slightly ground up (2-3 minutes). Add to a bowl along with the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix well, set aside.
In a stand mixer (or bowl with hand mixer) cream together butter & sugars.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just till incorporated, then add the vanilla extract.
Add the dry to the wet just a little at a time until fully incorporated.
Add in the chocolate chips.
Scoop 3 tablespoons (1.5 oz) and work into balls on your sheets (about 1-2 inches between each ball). NO MORE THAN 9 BALLS PER SHEET! For thicker cookies, chill the balls for 60 minutes in the fridge. For thinner cookies, bake as is.
Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes.
Let cookies rest on cookie sheet until completely cool (I even let them sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes, then let them set out over night). Then ENJOY!
