Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

Well, I am writing again.  Yesterday, my 13 year old Naim and I baked some oatmeal cookies. Here we go...

Ingredients:
8 oz - 1 cup - 227gm unsalted butter (softened)
6 oz - 3/4 cup light brown sugar
4 oz - 1/2 cup caster sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups cookie flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups choc chips

Let's bake them:
  1. Preheat oven 175 Cel (350 F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mat
  2. Cream butter, brown and caster sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer for 2 minutes. Scrape down and side of the bowl with spatula. Add eggs and vanilla at once and blend well
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, soda and salt. Add to butter mixture all at once. Blend slowly until no more patches of flour. Scrape down the bowl.
  4. Using a spatula, add oat and choc chip and blend well.
  5. Scoop a tablespoon of batter onto the baking sheets, 2 inches apart. 
  6. Bake for 13-16 min, rotating them in between, until the cookies are golden born at the edges and still a bit pale in the center.
This batch makes about 30 pieces of medium cookies.
