mmm mmm goood

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups flour

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 lb butter, soft

1 1/2 cups brown sugar

1/4 cup sugar

2 eggs

2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

3 1/2 cups rolled whole oats

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.

sift  (sifting is important!) flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg (its not in the recipe, but I add about 1/8 -1/4 tsp of ground cloves, too) into  a mixing bowl.

Beat butter, brown sugar, sugar, eggs, and vanilla with a hand mixer at medium speed.

Sift (yes, again!) flour mixture into butter mixture and mix well.

Fold in chocolate chips (or chocolate covered raisins if youd wish) and oats.

Spoon 1.5 inch balls onto non-stick cookie sheet.

Bake at 350°F for 6-9 minutes, rotating half way through baking. (Should be lightly firm in the center when done) Be careful -- oatmeal cookies don't look done when they are, so they are very easy to over cook (unless you want them to be crispy)
