jumbo chocolate chip cookies!

These cookies are my favorite!! I love that they have a little bit of oatmeal in them. It gives the cookie a nice crunchy texture! Give them a try, you won't regret it! 

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour 

1/2 cup rolled oats

3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed

3/4 cup white sugar

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temp

2 large eggs

2 tsp vanilla

2 cups mini chocolate chips

Pulse oats in a food processor to a fine crumb. In a large mixer bowl cream the butter, white and brown sugar and vanilla extract until fluffy (2-3 min).  Add eggs one at a time and mix until well combined. In a small glass bowl, combine the oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.  Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently mix on low speed.  Fold in the chocolate chips. Using a very large cookie scoop drop cookies about 2 inches apart on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 14-16 minutes.

Enjoy!
