1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 2 cookie sheets with cooking spray. Combine the flour, oats, cereal and baking soda in a bowl.
2. In a second, large bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Gradually stir flour mixture into the butter-sugar mixture. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop batter by rounded tablespoons,  about 2 inches apart onto prepared pans. Bake until light golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Use a spatula to remove cookies to a wire rack to cool.
