oatmeal chocolate chip coooookies

in addition to blending a mean salsa this evening, i even did a little baking! i found this delish recipe for oatemeal chocolate chip cookies, that turned out to be great! i can't even remember the last time i baked something just because, but i'm glad i did.

ingredients:
1/2 cup butter; room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cups rolled oats
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/4 cups chocolate chips
optional: 1- 2 tablespoons milk, if dough is crumbly

directions:
preheat oven to 375. beat butter and sugars with an electric mixer until smooth. Add egg and vanilla, mixing well until combined, about 1 minutes. stir in flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon with the mixer on medium speed. beat in oats. mix until dough comes together. add in 1 tablespoon milk if the dough is crumbly. if dough is still crumbly, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until it comes together. Fold in chocolate chips. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

remove dough from fridge and roll into big 1 1/2 inch balls. set on a baking sheet about 2 inches apart. lightly press down on dough to flatten it. bake at 375 for 9-11 minutes.
