Oatmeal Cookies à la Tall Boy

2 sticks butter - softened
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups oats
1 cup chocolate chips (the healthy-minded might opt for the traditional raisins, but not in our house)

Preheat oven to 350°. Beat butter and the sugars together until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla and beat well. Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt, and mix gradually into the butter and sugar combo. Stir in the oats (this takes forever) and the chocolate chips. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto parchment paper lined cookie sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes. Let them cool for a minute before sliding them onto a wire rack to cool entirely.

Now tell me . . . is your mouth watering just thinking about having an oatmeal cookie?
