Notes
Tips:
Be certain to preheat oven to 350 degrees
Butter should be softened, but not melted
Scrape down sides of bowl and mix well
Use parchment paper or a silicone liner on baking sheet for easy removal and cleanup. However, you can also use an ungreased baking sheet
Set timer for 17 minutes and check cookies. If they are golden brown, they are done. Otherwise keep baking for another 2-3 minutes.
Substitutions and Variations:
Use milk chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips
Pecans or walnuts may be used
If you don't have old fashioned oats, quick cooking or 1 minutes oats can be used. The quicker cooking oats don't keep the same texture as the old fashioned oats.
Add ½ cup of chopped raisins or dried cranberries for a slightly different cookie
