Emily's Oatmeal Cookies

1 c. white sugar
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. butter
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 c. flour
2 1/2 c. oatmeal
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
12 oz. chocolate chips (I actually think this is too many)

Preheat oven to 375 (the recipe says 350, but I think 375 works better). Blend sugars, butter, eggs, and vanilla. Mix with remaining ingredients. Roll into balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 minutes.

Price Guesstimate: Again, I'm at a loss when it's baking goods! Sorry! :)

Steph's Comments: Sorry to do 2 cookie recipes so close together, but this recipe along with the one I did last week are my go-to cookie recipes. They always turn out superb. I made these cookies this morning with my kids and their friends and I think I've had 5... and that after I made a goal not to have treats! They're just so yummy! :) I got this recipe from my cousin, Helen, and I guess she got it from her roommate, Emily, who says it's her version of the famous Neimann Marcus cookies!

  1. I use this exact same recipe, but mine has a teaspoon of salt. I agree, you can cut down on the chocolate chips by a half cup or so. In my experience, 350 is a better temperature than 375. These are delicious cookies! I get lots of compliments on them. Make sure not to over bake them! They taste yummy when they're soft.
