Jen's Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

1.5 Cups Butter

2 Cups Sugar
2 Cups Brown Sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
4 Cups flour
5 Cups Oatmeal (I use quick oats)

(Maygen has added a bit of cinnamon to this mix with good results)

 

Cream butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla, mix well. Mix salt, flour, baking powder and soda in separate bowl.   Add flour mixture to butt/sugar mix, slowly.  When well mixed, add oatmeal and chocolate chips.

Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes.

Makes a LOT.  Seriously a LOT.  I suggest baking half and freezing half.  But I don't suggest halving the recipe.  I did that once and it just wasn't quite as good.  :)
