1 c. butter
1 c. dark brown sugar, packed firmly
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
2 c. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 c. oatmeal
1 (6 oz.) pkg. chocolate chips
1 tsp. vanilla

Using a very strong mixer (stand mixer is recommended), cream together sugar, butter, and brown sugar. Alternately add eggs and flour until well mixed. Then add salt, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla, oatmeal and chocolate bits. Drop on a greased cookie sheet with iced teaspoon, 2 dozen to a pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes on pan, then transfer to paper towels to cool for crisp cookies. Cookies will be chewy if transferred immediately to wire rack or paper towels to cool. Makes 10 dozen.
