Harvest Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside.

Cream together the brown sugar and butter until well combined.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each.

Mix in the molasses, milk and vanilla.

Take one cup of the rolled oats and grind them in a blender or food processor until it is the consistency of coarse flour.

Add the ground oats and the remaining cup of rolled oats to the butter mixture and mix well.

Now add the flour mixture and mix until combined.

Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Using a 1/4 cup scoop (my standard size ice cream scoop works well for this) or a measuring cup, scoop the dough onto ungreased cookie sheets 3 inches apart.

Bake for 12-13 minutes until the edges are just starting to brown.

Remove from oven and cool two minutes on cookie sheets.

Remove from cookie sheets to cool completely on racks.
