Oatmeal Choc Chip Cookies (Susanna Steuer)



These are my absolute FAVORITE!

1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1 cup margarine
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
2 cups 1-minute oats
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1, 1/2 cups semi-sweet choc chips

Cream together sugars and margarine. Add eggs and vanilla. In a separate container, combine the dry ingredients (except the chocolate chips) and then gradually add them to the sugar mixture. Blend well. Add the chocolate chips and stir in to blend. Drop by tablespoons onto a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 6-8 minutes (I bake for 7-7,1/2 min). Cookies should look slightly unbaked in the center when you take them out. VERY IMPORTANT: Remove from the oven and let cool for 1 minute and then remove and let cool on wax paper or foil. I like to use parchment paper. Very best when right out of the oven!
