Epi associate editor Emily Johnson liked her family cookie recipe, but thought it could be even better. So she started making it with butter instead of margarine, increased the salt, and used chopped chocolate instead of chips. This new version has since become her new favorite cookie recipe-and she thinks her family (and yours) will agree.

Steps:
- Whisk all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition to incorporate before adding the next. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add dry ingredients, beating until just incorporated. Add oats and vanilla and beat just to combine. Fold in chocolate with a spatula.
- Turn dough out onto a work surface and flatten to a disk. Freeze 15-20 minutes to prevent dough from spreading too much as it bakes, or ideally chill 24-36 hours.
- Meanwhile, place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 350°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Drop 1/4 cupfuls of dough onto prepared sheets. Bake cookies, rotating sheets front to back and top to bottom halfway through, until just golden brown around the edges, 12-15 minutes (cookies will firm up as they cool). Let cookies cool on baking sheets 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks and let cool completely. Let baking sheet cool completely before lining with fresh parchment and spooning on dough for third batch.
- Do Ahead: Dough can be made 3 months ahead. Wrap tightly with plastic and freeze. Cookies can be made 1 day ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature, or freeze up to 3 months.
