Method 9 steps
Cream butter and both kinds of sugar with an electric mixer until smooth.
Combine the water, eggs, and vanilla in a separate container.
Gradually beat the egg mixture into the butter mixture until smooth.
Combine the flour and baking soda, then sift this mixture into the butter mixture. Mix to form a dough.
Use a sturdy mixing spoon to stir in the chocolate chips and 6 cups of the oats.
Stir in additional oats until the dough is stiff and almost crumbly.
If desired, chill dough until ready to bake.
Scoop teaspoon-sized balls of dough and place on a greased or parchment-lined cookie sheet.
Bake in a preheated 350°F (175C) oven for about 10 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the cookies comes out clean.
