Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups Old-Fashioned Quaker Oats
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a large mixing bowl, add butter and sugars. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs and vanilla.

In a medium bowl, add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly. Mix these dry ingredients into the creamed mixture with an electric mixer set on low speed until well blended. Use a spoon to stir in oats and chocolate chips.

Drop the cookie dough by 1/2 tablespoons, 2 inches apart, onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until lightly golden brown. DO NOT OVER BAKE. Allow to cool 8-10 minutes before removing cookies from baking sheets to cool on wire racks. Store in an airtight container.
