Country Oatmeal Chocolate Chippers

Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour - 1 cup uncooked quick or old-fashioned rolled oats - 1 tsp. salt - 3/4 tsp. baking soda - 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon - 1-1/2 cups (3 sticks) Shedd's Spread Country Crock® Spreadable Sticks - 1-1/4 cups granulated sugar - 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar - 1 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder - 4 eggs - 2-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract - 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°. In large bowl, combine flour, oats, salt, baking soda and cinnamon; set aside.

In large bowl, with electric mixer, beat Shedd's Spread Country Crock, sugars and cocoa until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in eggs, vanilla and lemon juice, scraping sides occasionally. Gradually beat in flour mixture just until blended. Stir in chocolate chips. On ungreased baking sheets, drop dough by level tablespoons, 2 inches apart. Bake uncovered 12 minutes or until lightly golden. On wire rack, let stand 2 minutes; remove from sheets and cool completely.

If desired, stir in 2 cups chopped walnuts or pecans.
