Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Oatmeal cookies? love! Chocolate chips? make everything amazing! 

Combining two of my favorite things, I whipped up a batch of these cookies on Sunday afternoon right before my home was overrun with teenagers (for youth group of course.) The whole plate of cookies was devoured with comments of "Best cookie ever!" and "I could eat a million of these!" resounding from happy mouths. These are quick and easy and a definite winner in everyone's book.

1-1/2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

3 cups quick oats 

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

In a large bowl, cream together margarine, shortening, brown sugar and sugar. Once fluffy and smooth, beat in eggs and vanilla. 

In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. 

Incorporate flour mixture into the creamed ingredients in three additions. Stir in oats, then chocolate chips.
