Recipe Story
This recipe has it's origins in the Joy of Cooking, but everytime I make them I tweak them a bit, and these ones were the best so far!
Ingredients
1 cup butter (at room temp)1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs

2 tbsp milk (I use skim, I don't imagine changing this would matter)

Directions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Cream together butter and sugars, using electric mixers or a kitchenaid.
- Add the eggs, one at a time to the mixture, and beat in.
- Beat in the milk and vanilla extract.
- Turn your mixer down to low speed, and slowly mix in the dry ingredients - the flower, baking powder and soda, and the salt, until just incorporated.
- After the dough has come together, stir in the oats and the chocolate chunks.
- At this point, you can simply drop 1 inch balls of cookie dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake them right away till they're golden, around 11-13 minutes depending on your oven.
- Or you can do what I do... form the dough into a log, and wrap it tightly in saran wrap, then stick it in the freezer.
- With this method, you can just slice off 1 cm rounds of cookie dough to bake as you want to, making as big or small a batch that you need.
