Paula Deen's Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

I chose this recipe because my husband loves oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and because I love Paula Deen's recipes. This is one her 25 days of holiday cookies recipes. It's easy to make and the cookies aren't too sweet.

Ingredients:

• 2 sticks of butter (room temperature)
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon water
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups of quick cooking oats
• 2 cups chocolate chips

Preparations:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Mix butter, sugars, eggs, vanilla and water. Mix well. 
3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. 
4. Combine both sets of ingredients. Add flour slowly if using electric mixer. 
5. Add oats and chocolate chips.
6. Drop dough onto lined cookie sheet or non-stick cookie sheet. 
7. Bake for approximately 10 minutes. (The bigger the dough ball, the longer to cook.)
