We love a good cookie around here… I’m always keeping our cookie jar stocked!  I use to make oatmeal cookies and they would stick to the pan, be flat and hard as a rock!  Not this recipe… they turn out soft and the oatmeal keeps them chewy!

Try them out the next time your thinking oatmeal!! 😀

What you need:

• 1/2 cup softened butter
• 1/2 cup shortening  (you can do all butter if you choose too)
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 cups oats (quick or regular)
• 2 cups chocolate chips

Optional if you want to add nuts, raisins or craisins just sub out for chocolate chips.

Oven temp 325 degrees … Bake time 12-13 minutes
