Two Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie recipes.

My new favourite tool.  Golf ball size and smaller ice cream scoops make the job sooo easy.
Buy good ones, mine are falling apart already, the bolt on the bottom fell off. :(

My little helper.

2 cups butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 1/2 cups white sugar
3 eggs
2 tsps vanilla extract
+
1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp baking soda

2 tsp baking powder

4 1/2 cups flour
5 cups oatmeal (quick 3-5 minute)
1/2 cup flax or wheat germ
3 cups chocolate chips

Makes about 6 dozen, cuz let's be honest..you can never have enough cookies.
(Freeze the dough or the baked cookies.)

Bake at 350 degrees for  8-12 minutes.  I take them out when they are starting to get golden and "just done".
Let the cool on a wire rack or on the pan if underdone.
