Bear's Favorite Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

from https://ourbestbites.com/giant-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookies/

1 c butter, softened
1 c dark brown sugar
1/2 c white sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 T vanilla
2 c flour
1 c quick-cooking oats
1 t baking soda
1 t baking powder
1 t kosher salt
3 c (or 18 ounces) chocolate chips


Preheat oven to 325.  Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Cream together softened butter and sugars.  Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, and mix until combined.

In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients (except the chocolate chips).  Add by cupfuls to the butter/sugar/egg mixture and mix until incorporated.  Add the chocolate chips and mix until just combined.

Using a 1/4 cup ice cream scoop, drop the dough by the scoopful onto the prepared baking sheets.  You should be able to get about 6 cookies per sheet.  Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they begin to turn light brown around the edges.  Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes and then eat them with milk while they're still warm!

Makes about 18 giant cookies.
