1 cup margarine
1 cup brown sugar (light or regular is fine)
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cup flour (all purpose)
1 tsp baking soda
heaping tbsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
3 1/2 cups oatmeal (do not use instant use old fashion- very important for texture)
1 bag semi sweet choc. chips
Preheat oven to 350
Mix margarine, brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, vanilla. Mix well. I use a mixer for these cookies. Especially when you add the oatmeal… it gets REALLY thick and needs a mixer… I have broke many a wooden spoon before I had a mixer. OK… then add flour, soda, cinn., salt. Then add oatmeal and then fold in choc. chips. Spoon onto an ungreased cookie sheet. I use a regular eating spoon and just spoon it on without trying to make it into a pretty ball. Cook for about 9 minutes or so… don’t over bake or they will get too crunchy.
