Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Everyone once in a awhile I crave a oatmeal cookie.  It's not often.  But sometimes it happens. 

There is just something about a chewy oatmeal cookie that can be so satisfying.  But they must contain chocolate chips for me.  NOT raisins.  A warm chewy oatmeal cookie is the best snack. 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup plus 6 tablespoon butter, softened

3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs, room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 cups old fashion oats

1 cup chocolate chips
