Chocolate Chip and Oatmeal Cookies:

Everyday Food-March 2011

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 1/4 cups rolled oats (not quick-cooking) 

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature

1 cup light-brown sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 large egg

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, salt, baking powder and baking soda.  

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and brown sugar on high until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.  Scrape down bowl as needed.  

Add vanilla and egg and beat to combine.

With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture and beat just until combined. 

Fold in chocolate chips.        

Drop by tablespoonfuls ( I like to use a small scooper), 2 inches apart, onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or a baking sheet lined with a Silpat.

Bake cookies until golden, about 15 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through. 
Transfer to wire racks to cool.
