½ C quick oats
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1-1/3 C of brown sugar
1/3 C of sugar

8 tbsp butter
3 tbsp of honey

1 ½ C of chocolate chips. (Or put as many as you want! I won’t judge)
Mix flour, oats, baking powder & baking soda in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar, sugar, butter, honey, vanilla & Crisco. Add eggs one at a time while mixing. Add dry ingredients, while mixing slowly. Next, using a spatula, fold in chocolate chips. Ball the dough into your desired size and bake for 8-11 mins on 350°F. Let cool, and enjoy!
