Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

I recently made these and brought them to school where they were a huge hit for my students! I got the basis for the recipe here at allrecipes.com (my favorite cooking website!) However, I made a few changes, some of which were due to the fact that oatmeal is kind of different here. So, if you are in america, just click on the link above and substitute a cup of oatmeal for a cup of chocolate CHUNKS (just cut up a plain chocolate bar), otherwise read on:

1 C butter

1 C white sugar

1 C brown sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla (vanilinovy cukr)

2 C flour (hladka svetla)

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt (just normal 'sul')

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon (skorice)

1 C ovesne vlocky + 1 C ovesne vlocky jemne OR 2 C ovesne vlocky jemne (if you just want to buy one)

1 C chocolate chips (2 chocolate bars chopped up into little squares)

1. Melt the butter on a low heat (1 or 1 1/2 on your dial). You can cut it into pieces to make it melt faster. Once it is melted take it off the stove so it can begin to cool. Add the white and brown sugar and stir. Mix in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the Vanilla. 

2. Separately combine the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. 

3. Mix in the dry powder combination from #2

4. Mix in the oats (ovesne vlocky) and chocolate a little at a time

5. Cover the dough and put it in the refrigerator for at least one hour (it can be up to several days. I found the cookies were better when the dough was in the refrigerator overnight)

6. Pre-heat the oven to 190C

7. Roll the dough into small balls (I usually use a small spoon) and put them in rows on a greased cookie sheet (square pan that has a little bit of butter on it, so the cookies don't stick to it). Make sure they are far enough a part so they won't stick together.

8. Bake for 8 - 10 minutes (keep an eye on them, make sure they are fully cooked, but aren't burnt). Then let them cool for at least 5 minutes before removing them from the pan. Use a knife, fork or spatula to remove them.

9. EAT
