Cowboy Cookies

This recipe came to us from Sharon when we were camping at Emerald Lake, Vermont. These cookies are just the best ever!

1 cup butter (2 sticks), softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
2 cups flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
6 ounces Hershey’s chocolate chips
2 cups Old Fashioned Quaker Oats

Cream the butter in a large mixing bowl. Add the sugars, eggs, and vanilla and beat with a mixer until creamy. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Combine dry ingredients with butter and eggs and mix until well blended. Add chocolate chips and oats and cut into the dough with a large spoon. Drop by the teaspoonful onto an un-greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 11 minutes or until golden. Cool on a rack.
