After flouring hands, roll the dough into small balls.

Place them about an inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake 15-20 minutes, or until brown on the bottom.

Cool for 15 minutes, then roll the still warm cookies in the rest of the powdered sugar.

Let cool again, then add more powdered sugar.

4. Chocolate Chip oatmeal cookies

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats or quick rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks, 1/2 pound) butter, softened (for crispy cookies) or 1 cup, 2 sticks or1/2 pound of butter flavored Crisco (for softer cookies) or a mix of the two, depending on your tolerance for trans-fats in your baked goods
3/4 cup minus 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
3/4 cup minus 1 Tablespoon packed brown sugar
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract - real vanilla extract, not imitation, not vanillin, not anything but the real thing.
2 eggs
2 cups (12-ounce package) Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
1 cup chopped nuts (optional - I don't use them)

COMBINE flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla in large mixer bowl. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition; gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets. Melt the brown sugar in the microwave if necessary - do not add if it's lumpy.

BAKE in preheated 375-degree oven for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

PAN COOKIE VARIATION: PREPARE dough as above. Spread into greased 15"x10" jelly-roll pan. Bake in preheated 375-degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on wire rack.

FOR HIGH ALTITUDE BAKING (>5,200 feet): INCREASE flour to 2 1/2 cups; add 2 teaspoonfuls water with flour; reduce both granulated sugar and brown sugar to 2/3 cup each. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit, drop cookies for 8 to 10 minutes and pan cookies for 17 to 19 minutes.

Drop the cookies with a small ice cream style scoop for uniformity. If you're giving them to people close to you, give them frozen and unbaked because warm chocolate chip cookies are to die for.
