    • 1 cup butter, softened

At low speed, beat in flour mixture until blended. Fold in oats and chocolate chips. Cover with plastic wrap; chill for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease 2 baking sheets.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place cookies, 2 inches apart, on prepared baking sheets. Flatten each cookie slightly.

Hint: make dough ahead of time and freeze it. Later, use defrosted dough to make homemade cookies in minutes.
