I confess to having a bit of a sweet tooth this summer. For better or worse, I'm sure I've eaten my weight in cookies and pies.I've had this recipe for years but it's lately grown into a family favorite. They're hearty and sweet but not overwhelmingly so. I like to make them large so they fit perfectly in the palm of my hand.

3 tablespoons baking cocoa
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda

½ cup butter
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup sugar
1 large egg

1 cup rolled oats [sometimes I used old-fashioned, sometimes quick]
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Chocolate Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
