Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup butter, softened to room temperature
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 - 2 tsp vanilla
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or 1 - 2 cups of chocolate chunks)

Sift together the flour, baking poeder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and floffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Gradually stir in the sifted ingredients. Stir in the rolled oats and chocolate chips. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto a cookie sheet.

Freeze cookies on sheet until completely frozen, then put them into a ziplock freezer bag.

To bake, preheat oven to 350d and bake for 8 - 10 minutes.

NOTE: If you are baking these immediately, the dough needs to be really cold when they go into the oven - chill for 2 - 3 hours prior to baking.
