- 2 cups quick oats (or old fashion oats)

Preheat oven to 350°F; line two baking sheets with parchment paper or use a silpat.

Working by hand, stir in the flour mixture and the oats until just combined and no streaks of flour remain; stir in the chocolate chips.

Drop heaping tablespoonfuls (approx 1 tbsp each) of the dough onto prepared baking sheets, flattening each cookie slightly (I forgot to do this).

Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until cookies become light brown at the edges.
12 min - 8
Let cool on baking sheet for 3 or 4 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Store in an airtight container so you don't eat them all in one sitting!
