Great Harvest (Copycat) Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 cups whole wheat flour (It works well with white or wheat, white seems to be more dense, and wheat more fluffy)

1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups brown sugar, packed
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups rolled oats
2 eggs
2 tablespoons molasses
1 tablespoon milk
1/4 (12 ounce) pkg milk chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

Beat together brown sugar and butter until well combined. Add oats, eggs, molasses, and milk; beat well. Add dry ingredients to beaten mixture; beat until blended. Stir in chocolate chips. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop dough and drop about 3 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
