These delicious cookies have become a staple at our open houses and after many requests I thought I’d post the recipe here for you to enjoy. We’ve done the trial and error for you to make sure that the measurements are right for baking at altitude here in Park City.

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Butter
• 3/4 Cup White Sugar
• 3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 2 tsp Vanilla
• 2 1/4 Cup Flour
• 3/4 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Baking Soda
• 2 Cups Oatmeal
• 1 Bag Chocolate Chips (Semi-Sweet Belgian)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375º

In microwave, soften butter in a large glass mixing bowl.
(only soften, do not liquify. the warmer the butter, the flatter the cookies.)

Mix in white and brown sugar
Add eggs and continue mixing.
Add the flour/salt/baking soda mixture until well combined.
Add oatmeal
(at this point the mixer may clog and it may be nescessary to continue mixing by hand)
Mix in chocolate chips
(easiest if you mix in by hand)

Using a 1 1/2 inch cookie baller (or by hand of course) place balls on greased cookie sheet and bake for 7 minutes @ 375º. Remove from oven and leave on cookie sheet 2 additional minutes before moving to cooling rack.

Pour a big glass of milk and enjoy with friends.
