Oatmeal Cookies

These are a family favorite. We particularly like them large as the cookies are chewier this way.

Preheat the oven to 350

In a mixing bowl place ~
2 cubes of room temperature butter, cut into chunks
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 splash of vanilla

Beat well until creamy and butter has almost disappeared.

Mix together in a small bowl ~
2 1/2 cups flour
2 cups Old Fashioned oats
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda

Beat the butter/sugar mixture again to further incorporate the butter.
Add the dry mixture and beat until thoroughly mixed.
Place onto cookie sheet by heaping tablespoons; give them a little room to spread.
Bake about 15 minutes, or until edges are set. They should still be a light color.
