My Chocolate Chip Cookies

So for the Girl's parties I made cookies. I had gotten some Raspberry chocolate chips and so they did not come with the cookie recipe on the side of the bag that I usually use. I did a quick internet search and found tons of chocolate chip cookie recipes! I was surprise by how many there were for such a staple cookie. How was I to know which recipe to use?
So I asked for favorite cookie recipes from friends on Facebook I got quite a few suggestions and after filtering through tons of recipes and looking over the few I collected from friends I started to get a feel for the basic chocolate chip cookie and what changes could be made to get say a chewier cookie or a nice a crispy one. I decided that rather than picking a recpie I'd make my own.
MY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

1C sugar
1C brown sugar
1/2C (1 stick) butter
1/2C margarine
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 1/2C flour
1C quick cook plain oatmeal
1tsp salt
1tsp baking soda
12oz. chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375°F. Mix wet ingrdiance and dry separatly. Then add dry to wet. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for 8-10 min.


I imagin it makes about 4-5 dozen but I started with an inapporprate flour to butter ratio and the cookies were a disaster. So after scraping the sheet clean and washing the stuck bits off I added another cup of flour and these turned out much nicer. But they were harder than I like cookies to be so the above recipe has a half cup less flour than I used in the cookies.
Thanks for visiting!
