JUMBO OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

JUMBO OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

•1 cup butter (2 sticks), softened
•1 cup packed brown sugar
•1 cup white sugar
•2 eggs
•1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•2 cups all-purpose flour (I used unbleached flour)
•1 teaspoon baking soda
•1/2 teaspoon salt
•3 cups old-fashioned oats
•1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
•1/2 cup raisins
•1/2 cup chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease cookie sheets.

In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar and white sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in the oats, chocolate chips, raisins, and pecans, one ingredient at a time. Scoop dough with a 1/4 cup size measuring cup and drop dough onto the prepared cookie sheets.
Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Makes 23 to 24 jumbo cookies.
