Chocolate Chip Cookies revisited

I feel almost sacrilege posting this.  Like I'm violating one of the laws of nature.  I mean, why mess with perfection?  BUT I've found a new chocolate chip cookie recipe.  Aaahh... don't tell mom.  It all started when Brian wouldn't eat shortening.  So, I started to use all butter in Mom's recipe.  Also, we live at a high altitude (6,400 ft) and baking doesn't always perform the way you want it to.  My cookies were never quite "right".  Anyway, I decided to experiment and we love this new recipe.

Chocolate Chip Cookies
3/4 c. sugar
3/4 c. brown sugar
3/4 c. powdered sugar
1 c. butter (melted)
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
3 c. flour
1 c. oats
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 pkg chocolate chips

Preheat to 365.  Cream sugars with butter.  Add eggs and vanilla. Mix.  Add flour, salt and soda.  Mix.  Add chocolate chips.  Bake for 8-9 minutes.
