Tasty Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Hi friends,

This afternoon I modified a recipe I found in a cookie cookbook and came up with one tasty oatmeal chocolate chip cookie (and I'll be honest-- mine looked WAY better than the pictured cookies in the cookbook).

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Makes ~50 cookies, 3 Weight Watchers points for 2 cookies

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
Dash of salt

1/2 cup butter at room temperature
1/2 cup superfine sugar (or regular if you don't have superfine)
1/2 cup light brown sugar (not packed)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
1 cup oats
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift together first 4 ingredients small bowl, set aside. With an electric mixer, cream together butter and both sugars. Add egg and vanilla extract, beat until light and somewhat fluffy. Add flour mixture and blend on low until thoroughly mixed. Stir in oats and chocolate chips, mixing well. Using a melon baller or cookie dough scoop sprayed with nonstick spray, drop rounded balls onto cookie sheet, with one inch space in between cookies. Bake 9-10 minutes until edges appear firm, but still soft to the touch in the middle. Transfer and cool on wire racks.
