Almost identical to the recipe my mom taught me 30 years ago. Exceptions being: no baking powder; 3/4C each brown sugar and white sugar; 2C of oats and 2C of tollhouse chocolate chips. As packed with chips as that turns out, I don't think I'd be able to get the scoop into the dough with a third cup of chips in there. I, too, put the oats in ahead of the flour and let them sit about 15 mins for quick oats - possibly 30 mins for old-fashioned oats. This step is not critical for the quick oats, but helps greatly with the old-fashioned. It's the only chocolate chip cookie I've ever made, and it gets rave reviews every time. I haven't experimented with other choc chip cookie recipes because I've never found a cookie anyone else made that was close to this good. Now if I can figure out how to make sandwich bread that's good for something other than a doorstop - that'll be the big hurdle!
