Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is my own recipe, I've been making it for years and slowly tweeking it, until it was finally perfect!




Ingredients:

*1 cup butter (softened)
*1 cup brown sugar packed
*3/4 cup white sugar
*2 eggs room tempeture
*1 tsp vanilla
* 1/8 tsp almond extract
*1 1/2 cups flour
*1 tsp baking soda
*2 1/2 cups oatmeal
*1/2 cup milk chocolate chips (could use semi-sweet but we are milk chocolate lovers)


Cream together butter and sugar, add in eggs and vanilla and almond.  In a seperate bowl combine flour and baking soda, pour into wet ingredients until mixed well, then add in oatmeal.  I like to stir in my chocolate chips with a spatula not my mixer.  Bake at 350 for 9-11 mins.  (I cook for 10 mins, then let them sit for a few mins before transferring to cooling racks.)
