Rocky Mountain Cookies

We made these for a church function & they were tasty!  Jace thought it was so cool that they had a "secret ingredient!"

Rocky Mountain Cookies

1 C. butter, softened

1 C. sugar

1 C. brown sugar

2 eggs (I used egg beaters)

1 tsp. vanilla

2 C. flour

2 C. old-fashioned oats (I just used quick oats)

1 tsp. soda

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt (I did 1/8 tsp.)

2 C. Rice Crispies

2 C. chocolate chips (I used 1 C. semi-sweet & 1 C. milk chocolate)

In a large bowl, cream together sugars & butter.  Add eggs & vanilla & beat well.  Sift dry ingredients & add to mixture.  Fold in oats, rice crispies, & chocolate chips.  Drop by tablespoons onto a greased baking sheet.  Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 8-12 minutes or until very lightly browned.
