Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

I had to make half of a dinner for a lady in our ward that has a daughter in the NICU so I decided to try out some oatmeal cookies to go with the dinner. They were the BEST oatmeal cookie that I have ever had! They were so, so yummy. Again, this recipe came from Allrecipes.com. Unfortunately, we ate all of them before I had the chance to take a picture. That's how good they were. These cookies would be awesome to make cookie sandwiches with cream cheese frosting in the middle, if you left the chocolate chips out. That's right, I went there. I may have to try it and repost with pictures.

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F 

2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until just blended. Mix in the quick oats and chocolate chips. Roll into balls and place on baking sheet.
