Oatmeal Cookies

1 2/3 c. margarine

1 3/4 c. brown sugar

1 3/4 c. granulated sugar

3 eggs, beaten

3 c. plus 6 T. flour

2 tsp. soda

3/4 tsp. baking powder

3/4 tsp. salt

5 1/2 c. oatmeal

Chocolate chips, as desired

Cream together brown sugar, granulated sugar and margarine until blended. Add beaten eggs. Sift together flour, soda, baking powder and salt. Add to creamed mixture. Stir in rolled oats and chocolate chips. Batter will be stiff. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto lightly greased sheets. Bake until cookies are brown, but still soft. Cookies will harden and become chewy as they cool. Bake at 325 for 10 to 15 minutes.
