Bakery Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are the best I've ever had. A friend shared the recipe with me and she swears the secret is hand mixing. So even if you are tempted, put that electric tool down!

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup butter

1. mix first four ingredients until combined, MIX BY HAND (its the trick to this recipe!). add the dry ingredients, then the oats, then the chocolate chips, mixing each time.
2. refrigerate dough for taller/chunkier cookies for 1 hr or more. drop them on a greased pan in Tablespoonfuls.
3. 350 for 10 mins (i usually find that 12 is good- though recipe said 10. it's a little too gooey for me. just start checking them after 10.
