Mama Lovejoy's Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 ½ c. old fashioned or quick oats

2 c. flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup unsalted butter (don’t use marg)

1 c. white sugar

1 c packed brown sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 large bag milk choc. Chips

½ bag heath chips or skor chips

** Place small amount of oats in blender and process until powdered. Pour into separate bowl. Repeat process until all oats are powdered. Set aside

**Beat butter and sugars with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Blend in eggs one at a time and then add vanilla.

**Add baking soda and baking powder, salt. Mix—then add the powdered oats. Mix

**Add the chips

**Add the flour. You will probably only get about half of it mixed in with you electric mixer, the rest of the flour I mix in with a spoon or my hands

**Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours…It is OK to leave overnight. Also remember to put your cookie sheets into the freezer.

**Form cookies into a ball about the size of a golf ball. Place about 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 12-15 min.. (Usually is 13 min. for me) Cool on cookie sheet for 1 min. Then remove. Remember to chill sheet each time. This is really the secret…Makes about 4 dozen.
