Jean's (TC's mom) Cowboy Cookies

So TC's mom is an awesome, hardworking lady and she can bake too! Thanks Jean for sending this to me!

Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar 1 cup butter
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups of dry oatmeal
1 package chocolate chips
1 cup of nuts (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Cream together the sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla 
3. Mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
4. Mix together the liquid and dry ingredients.
5. Add oatmeal, entire package of chocolate chips (Jean uses less but consider what kind of people we are), and nuts (like said, optional). 
6. Place dollops of batter on ungreased cookie sheet.  

Jean never actually measured how long it took. From my experience 6-10 minutes (more towards 10 at altitude).

DO NOT OVERBAKE, KEEP SOFT
