Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies (Windstar)

½ cup of softened butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

¼ cup white sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all purpose flour

1 cup quick oats or regular oats

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup chocolate chips

Flaked sea salt, for sprinkling

In a medium bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, white sugar and vanilla.

Beat in egg. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in oats. Stir in chocolate chips.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (190 degrees C). Roll the dough into walnut sized balls, and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. Slightly flatten the cookies with your fingertips.

Bake for 9-11 minutes in preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle each cookie with sea salt flakes.
