Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Yields: 9 dozen

Ingredients:

5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups butter, room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups firmly-packed brown sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 (24-ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips
3 cups chopped nuts (optional)

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Either lightly grease or line cookie sheets with parchment paper or use the Silicone Baking Mats to prevent the cookies from sticking.

Make a powder out of the rolled oats by putting small amounts into the blender or food processor at a time.

In a large bowl, combine powdered rolled oats, flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.

In another large bowl, blend butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and creamy; stir in eggs and vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture; stir until well blended. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.

Roll dough into golf-ball-sized cookies. Place 2 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake 15 minutes or until light brown. Remove from oven and cool on wire cooling racks.

Freezing the Dough: You can freeze this dough. Form the dough into balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze and then place the balls of dough in a plastic bag, seal, and freeze. When ready to bake the cookies, place the frozen balls of dough on a baking sheet and bake as directed above (you may have to increase baking time a few minutes).

Yields 9 dozen cookies.
