Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 Tbs baking powder
1/2 Tbs baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
pinch salt
1 1/2 cups oatmeal
2 1/2 - 3 cups flour or 2 1/2 c. whole-wheat flour
2 cups milk chocolate chips

Optional goodies:
white chocolate chips
chopped pecans
toasted coconut (so yummy)
M & M baking bits

Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs, baking power, soda, vanilla and salt. Then add oatmeal and flour. Start out with 2 1/2 cups flour and add a little more if needed. Sometimes when you add all the optional goodies, the dough gets too dry. Adjust flour amounts according to what you add in for goodies. Bake at 350 for 9-11 min. until golden brown.
