Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

This weekend I took a page from childhood and decided to bake some of my all time favorite cookies. The recipe is your pretty standard oatmeal cookie recipe, even though I tend to deviate and throw some cocoa powder and cinnamon in there for kicks.



Combine the following:

• 1 cup soft butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup white sugar

Once batter is smooth, slowly mix in:

• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  

In a separate bowl combine:

• 2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
  

Slowly combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients. Once finished, stir in oats and chocolate chips. For this recipe I took 2 Hershey bars and diced them up small.

Take dough, cover it and chill it for an hour.

Grease cookie sheet, and place small balls of dough on sheet. Cook for 8 - 10 minutes at 375 degrees F.

Let sit for 5 minutes before removing from sheet.
