Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 c. SR flour
1/2 c. butter, softened
1/3 c. sugar
2/3 c. brown sugar
2 t. vanilla
1 egg
1 1/2 c. old fashioned oats
1 c. chocolate chips

Beat butter with both sugars on medium until fluffy. Reduce speed to low. Add vanilla and eggs. Beat 1 minute. Add flour. Mix until almost combined. Stir in oats and chips. Chill 1 hour*. Preheat oven to 375. Place 2 T. dough, rolled into balls, on baking sheet 2" apart. Bake until cookies are golden around the edges, but still soft in the center, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven. Cool 1-2 minutes. Then remove from sheets onto wire rack to cool completely.

*Chilling the dough causes it to spread out less and concentrates the flavor.
