Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Here is the recipe for the aforementioned Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies:

2 sticks butter
3/4 c. brown sugar
3/4 c. white sugar
2 eggs
1 T. vanilla
2 1/2 c. flour
2 c. oatmeal
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1 1/2 c. chocolate chips (we used 1 c. chocolate and 1/2 c. peanut butter chips; these cookies are also good with M&M's)

Cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs and vanilla, beat well. Sift flour, soda, and salt; stir in oatmeal. Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by teaspoon onto greased or paper-lined cookie sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes, watching carefully so they don't over bake. Remove to a wire rack to cool.

OPTIONAL: Can use raisins instead of chocolate, and add 1 t. of cinnamon.
