Chocolate Chip Cookies (Mrs. Fields Style)

This is another one that falls in the "yes, I admit I've actually tried this before category." But this is a recipe made famous by my little sis when we were younger and I haven't made it in years so I figured it was about time to share it.

First, gather the ingredients:


1 c. butter
1 c. sugar
1 c. brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 c. flour
2.5 c. oatmeal (measured then blended)
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda chocolate chips

(Was that bowl I poured the chocolate chips in necessary? Not really. But I've decided to start collecting them to help make my retro kitchen a bit cooler. This one cost $4 at an antique store here—the price tag said $8.50 but the owner—without my asking—though I should have it for $4!)

Anyhow, I digress. So after you've blended the oatmeal, mix all the ingredients together.


Add the chocolate chips, then bake golf ball-sized cookies on a ungreased cookie sheet at 375 degrees for 8 minutes—preferably in a super-special retro oven like this. (Or, I guess you can use a regular oven if you aren't blessed with an oven like mine!)


Voila. Eat before they're all the way cool. And after they're cool. And three days later, if there are any left. (There might not be.) Any questions?
