Chocolate Chunk Cookies

(This is for you McKenzie!!) These are "The Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies" everyone always asks about. I brought these to multiple summer picnics, and they were voted "The Best Cookie" at several ones (even if Luke Webb was the only one who voted!) Anyhow, they are hands down the best chocolate chip cookie....they have 3 types of chocolate chips in them. I will warn you though, measuring the chocolate chips is IMPORTANT, otherwise your cookies will be too chocolatey....and gross. Just trust me.

Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Yield: 16
1/2 c Butter, Softened (not in the microwave...let the butter sit on your counter)
1/2 c Sugar
1/2 c Brown Sugar, Firmly Packed
1 lg Egg
1/2 t Vanilla
3/4 c Flour
1/2 t Salt
1/2 t Baking Powder
1/2 t Baking Soda
1/2 c Rolled Oats
1 1/4 c Chocolate Chunks, Milk, Semisweet & White Chocolate Chip mixture

1--Preheat Oven to 350°. Lightly grease two large baking sheets.
2--Combine the butter and sugars in a large bowl. Beat with a wooden spoon or electric mixer set on medium speed until creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Set aside.
3--Sift the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda into a small bowl. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating continuously. Stir in the rolled oats and chocolate chunks.
4--Spoon tablespoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake cookies until lightly browned, 8-10 minutes. Let cookies cool for 1 minute before transferring to wire racks.
