Delicious Cookies
1 C of softened butter (2 sticks)
.5 C unbleached sugar
1.5 C light brown sugar
2 eggs
5 tsp milk
2 tsp vanilla
2 C unbleached flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt (plus a teensy bit more)
2.5 C old-fashioned oats
2 C semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 C bittersweet chocolate chunks
Turn on the oven to 325ish. In your Kitchenaid, combine the soft butter and the sugars on speed 2. Once they're combined, add the eggs (individually), then the vanilla & milk. Let that continue to mix. Sift all of the dry ingredients, BUT NOT THE OATS & CHOCOLATE, into a medium bowl. Turn up the mixer to speed 4, and slowly mix the dry stuff into the moist mixture. While you let that mix, cut parchment paper and put it on the cookie sheet. Turn your mixer back down to two and put the oats in one handful at a time. Once the oats are all in, take the bowl out of the mixer and add the chocolate into it by hand. Using an ice cream scoop and a teaspoon, put the batter on the parchment in rounded mounds. Bake for 10-12 minutes, then put them onto a wire cooling rack. While one batch is baking, put the bowl into the refrigerator-it will make it easier to bake.
You can add nuts to these if you want, but clearly they won't be as good.
After they cool, enjoy!
