Ingredients:

• 1 cup of All purpose flour (you can use 3/4 cups of AP and 1/4 of Almond for a chewier cookie)

How to:

1. In a medium bowl whisk the flour and baking soda. Set aside

3. Add flour until barely mixed,

4. Add oats and chocolate chips, mix well.

5. Preheat the oven to 375. Chill the dough (ideally) for 1 hour. You can go overnight.

6. Using an ice cream scoop (about 2 tablespoons) of cookie mix. The cookie mix should be at least 1 inch to 2 inches apart. (They will expand a little)

7. Bake until golden around the edges and soft and chewy in the middle. 8-10 mins (depends on your oven)
