Oatmeal-Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
2 cups quick-cooking oats
1 1/2 cups all-purpose or unbleached flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (6 oz)

Directions
Heat oven to 350F. In large bowl, stir brown sugar and butter until blended. Stir in vanilla and egg until light and fluffy. Stir in oats, flour, baking soda and salt; stir in chocolate chips. Onto ungreased cookie sheet, drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.

Notes
I give this recipe a 5-star rating! I had all of the ingredients on hand, and I only had to dirty one bowl. The cookies were flavorful and had the perfect blend of chewy and crispiness. It would be very simple to substitute a cup of raisins instead of the chocolate chips too! This one is definitely going to the front of the cookie section in my recipe box!
