Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

I usually half the recipe b/c it makes nearly 5 dozen.

Also, it is important to make large mounds ( a little bigger than golf ball size) and if you can chill/freeze the dough balls before cooking.

2 cups butter (room temp)

2 cups brown sugar

2 cups granulated sugar

4 eggs

2 tsp vanilla

1 tsp cinnamon

4 cups flour

5 cups old fashioned oatmeal

1 tsp salt

2 tsp baking soda

3 cups chopped nuts

24 oz choc chip

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream butter and both sugars. Add eggs one at a time and vanilla. Stir in flour and oatmeal. Add salt, soda, cinnamon. Add nuts and chips last. Mix well. Place ball mounds of dough on greased cookie sheet. Bake 12 minutes.
