2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda

The cookies will look slightly underdone, but the secret is to let them COMPLETELY COOL on the cookie sheet- THEY WILL CONTINUE TO COOK!!!

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal cookies

1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt
3 cups quick-cooking oats
(1 cup chopped walnuts (optional, I do not use in my cookies))
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (165 degrees C).


2.In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until just blended. Mix in the quick oats, walnuts, and chocolate chips. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.

3.Bake for 9 minutes in the preheated oven.

**** Most IMPORTANT STEP- the cookies will look slightly underdone
Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet until COMPLETELY cool!!

This keeps them soft and chewy on the insdide!!
