CHOCOLATE CHIP OATMEAL COOKIES - EVERYONE LOVES FRESH BAKED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES. THIS RECIPE IS ONE OF OUR FAVORITES. TWO FABULOUS BATTERS, OATMEAL RAISIN AND CHOCOLATE CHIP, COMBINE TO MAKE ONE DELICIOUS COOKIE. IF YOU HAVE A 2 OZ. (2-INCH) ICE CREAM SCOOP, USE IT TO DROP THE BATTER ONTO THE COOKIE SHEETS. INGREDIENTS: 1/2 LB (2 STICKS) O ORGANICS BUTTER OR MARGARINE, MELTED, 1 CUP O ORGANICS GRANULATED SUGAR, 1 CUP PACKED GOLDEN BROWN SUGAR, 2 LARGE O ORGANICS EGGS, 1 TSP. VANILLA EXTRACT, 2 CUPS O ORGANICS ALL PURPOSE FLOUR, 1 TSP. BAKING POWDER, 1 TSP. BAKING SODA, 1 TSP. GROUND CINNAMON, 1 TSP. POWDERED GINGER, 2 1/2 CUPS QUICK ROLLED OATS, 1 CUP CHOCOLATE CHIPS, 1 CUP RAISINS, 3/4 CUP COARSELY CHOPPED WALNUTS OR PECANS (OPTIONAL), COOKING INSTRUCTIONS: 1. PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 375°F. LINE 2 BAKING SHEETS WITH PARCHMENT PAPER OR GREASE THEM. 2. IN A LARGE MIXING BOWL WITH ELECTRIC MIXER, BEAT BUTTER AND SUGARS ON LOW SPEED UNTIL BLENDED, ABOUT 1 MINUTE. MIX IN EGGS AND VANILLA, ABOUT 1 MINUTE. ADD FLOUR, BAKING POWDER, SODA AND SPICES. MIX ON LOW SPEED UNTIL COMBINED, ABOUT 1 MINUTE. ADD OATS, CHIPS, RAISINS AND NUTS, IF USING, AND MIX ON LOW UNTIL INCORPORATED. (IF THE MIXTURE IS TOO STIFF, YOU MAY NEED TO STIR THEM IN BY HAND.), 3. DROP BATTER BY ROUNDED TABLESPOONS ABOUT 1 1/2 INCHES APART ONTO PREPARED BAKING SHEETS. 4. BAKE FOR 10 TO 13 MINUTES OR UNTIL EDGES ARE GOLDEN BROWN AND CENTERS ARE PALE AND SOFT. THEY WILL LOOK UNDERDONE, BUT WILL FIRM UP CONSIDERABLY AS THEY COOL. IF BAKING ON 2 OVEN RACKS, ROTATE THEIR POSITIONS HALFWAY THROUGH THE BAKING TIME. IMMEDIATELY REMOVE TO RACKS TO COOL. THE COOKIES MAY BE STORED AIRTIGHT FOR SEVERAL DAYS OR FROZEN.

STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS: STORE IN A COOL DRY PLACE. AFTER OPENING, TRANSFER FLOUR TO AN AIRTIGHT CONTAINER TO MAXIMIZE SHELF LIFE. FLOUR CAN BE KEPT IN FREEZER, ESPECIALLY DURING HOT, HUMID MONTHS.

MEASUREMENT DIRECTIONS: WHEN MEASURING FLOUR IT IS BEST TO SPOON IT INTO A DRY MEASURING CUP AND THEN LEVEL IT OFF WITH A KNIFE. FLOUR SETTLES IN THE BAG, AND SPOONING IT INTO THE MEASURING CUP ALLOWS FOR ACCURATE MEASURING.
