Chocolate Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies


These cookies are delicious! Your whole family will love them as much as mine, I just know it!

1 C. butter
1 C. brown sugar
1/2 C. white sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
(Or I always substitute 9 Tb. cocoa powder & 3 Tb. oil, coconut recommended)
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/4 C flour (reduce to one cup if using cocoa alteration)
1 1/2 C rolled oats, quick-cooking recommended
1 C. chocolate chips

Beat butter on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the sugar, baking powder, and baking soda, mix until combined. Scrape sides of bowl occasionally. Mix in the melted chocolate or add the cocoa powder and oil. Add the egg and vanilla, mix till combined. Add in the flour. Then add in the rolled oats & chocolate chips.
Drop dough by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 8-10 minutes, or till edges are firm. Transfer cookies to wire rack and cool. Devour!!!
