Remove the baking powder - you don't need it. Use both white sugar and
brown sugar.

This is one of my recipes:

2 sticks unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cups brown sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips or chunk bittersweet chocolate

I also have an oatmeal chocolate chip recipe that is yummy:


Oatmeal Cookies (Lyn Glover)

Basic recipe:

3/4 C. butter
1 C. light brown sugar
1/2 C. sugar
1 egg (jumbo)
1/3 C. water or milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract (real vanilla, not imitation)
2 C. Quaker Quick Oats
1 C. Quaker Old Fashioned Oats
1 C. Flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Cream butter, sugars, egg and vanilla. Stir in dry ingredients and
spices, adding oats last. Add additional ingredients as desired (see
variations, below). Spray non-stick baking sheet with PAM cooking
spray (I use Canola variety). Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto
baking sheet, 1 1/2 inches apart. Flatten and shape lightly. Bake at
375F for five minutes, turn the sheet 180 degrees, and bake an
additional 4 minutes. Cookies are done when lightly browned at the
edges, and the tops are beginning to dry. May take a little longer
than the specified 9 minutes. If cookies run too much, add a little
flour to the dough, and refrigerate it before making more cookies.
Store in airtight container (Ziploc baggies).

spicy.)

I've saved these recipes too, the spices do make them sound really
delicious, I'll buy some oats on my next shop.
I guess we'll be eating cookies for a while! The people at work will
appreciate the left overs! (the staff not the patients, I'm a theatre
nurse!)
