Chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies

I made these for Mike and Tina last night and they said they were the best they ever had from me (I've been making oatmeal chocolate chip cookies since high school). These are chewy with the right amount of saltiness.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, soften
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cup quick cooking oats
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325
2. In a large bowl, cream butter, brown and white sugar until smooth.
3. Beat egg then stir in vanilla extract.
4. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; add this flour mixture to creamed mixture and stir until just blended.
5. Mix in oats and chocolate chips by hand.
6. Use small disher to drop batter onto increased baking sheet.
7. Chill for at least 10 minutes in the refrigerator.
8. Bake for 15 minutes. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to cooling rack to cool completely.

Tip: I scooped the extra dough onto parchment and freezed them for 30 minutes before putting them all in a bag for the freezer.
