My favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie

2 sticks Butter (soft)
2 cups granulated sugar
2 Tbsp Molasses
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract or pulp of 1 vanilla bean
2 cups flour (ap)
1 cup rolled whole oats (grind fine in blender)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 package semi~sweet chocolate chips (12 oz)

Preheat oven to 350

Cream butter, sugar, and molasses until smooth
Add eggs, vanilla and mix again until smooth
Add flour, ground oats, baking soda, baking powder and salt
Mix just enough to combine (do not overmix)
Fold in chocolate chips

Baking time varies to the size you make your cookies the cookies pictured were sized with a household ice cream scoop and baked 6 to a cookie sheet lined with parchment for 12 min.

These cookies have a crisp edge and a tender center which made them one of my all time favorites and my "go to" cookie

Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
