Quaker oats chocolate chip oatmeal cookies recipe

My son’s in town and we made our go-to Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies.  I’ve tried a few different recipes throughout the years but this one, in my opinion, is the best and the one I always go back to.

• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 1/2 C. all purpose flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. In large bowl, beat together the butter and sugars on medium speed until creamy.
3. Add eggs and vanilla and beat well.
4. Add flour, baking soda and salt, mix well.
5. Add oats and chocolate chips, mix well.
6. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons on ungreased cookie sheets.

8. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheets, then remove to wire rack to cool completely.
