- 1 ¼ c all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 c quick cooking oats

- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars. Beat in eggs one at a time, and then stir in vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda in a separate bowl. Slowly add flour mixture into the creamed mixture until just blended. Stir in oats and chocolate chips. Chill dough for 20-30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 325° F. Prepare cookie sheets by lining with parchment paper or silicon mats. Drop chilled dough by the teaspoonful onto prepared cookie sheets.
