Polly's Chocolate Chip Cookies

There are hundreds of chocolate chip cookie recipes out there. Every one of them claims to be the best. Just so you don't confuse this recipe with all of those others, this one REALLY is the best.

Proof: I made 200+ cookies for my friend's wedding reception last weekend and some of the guests thought these cookies were brought in from a bakery. My big white cake boxes may have helped in this confusion, however, I believe it was the goodness of the cookies themselves that kept the guests coming back for more.

I'll forewarn you now, this single recipe makes a lot of cookies. Feel free to half the recipe, or better yet, throw the extra cookie dough balls in the freezer for a rainy day.

Polly's Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 lb. butter

2 c. sugar

2 1/3 c. brown sugar

4 eggs

2 T vanilla

2 tsp. baking powder

2 tsp. baking soda

4 1/3 c. flour

5 c. ground oatmeal

1 pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 pkg. milk chocolate chips

Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until combined. Mix in dry ingredients. Stir in oatmeal. Once combined add chocolate chips. 

Bake at 325 for 13-14 min.

I bake mine for 12 minutes. As they cool they will set up to be the perfect cookie.
