Ingredients

2 sticks butter (room temperature)
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
¾ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ teaspoon water
2 eggs
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups quick cooking oats
2 cups chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350º F.

Spray pan with nonstick cooking spray. In medium bowl whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer, cream butter and sugars until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Add vanilla and water and beat until fully incorporated. Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Stir in oats and chocolate chips. Using a teaspoon, drop dough on prepared baking sheet and bake for 7 minutes. Cool on wire rack.

Notes from the Paula Deen Test Kitchen: We always use parchment paper on cookie sheet.  Makes for easier clean up.  A cup of chopped pecans makes these cookies even yummier!
