It's basically the Oatmeal Raisin Cookie recipe on the top of the Quaker Oats lid. Seriously. I had searched all day for a recipe to soothe my chocolate fix. I love, love, love chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. Not to be confused with Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies which are equally amazing and hold a special place in my heart. There's a time and place for every cookie.
What You will Need:
- 1 stick + 6T butter, softened
- 3/4 firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 t vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups AP flour (I use half wheat/half white)
- 1 t baking soda
- 1/2 t salt
- 3 cups Oats (quick or old fashioned)
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips (and an extra little handful for good luck...or if you're a chocoholic like me.)
What to do:
- Preheat oven to 350. Line some baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Beat butter and sugars together until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla.
- In a smaller bowl mix flour, salt and baking soda.
- Add flour to butter-sugar-goodness. I do this in two steps, with a rubber spatula.
- Add oats and chocolate chips and fold in until combined.
- Drop by spoonfuls. I did about 2-big heaping Tablespoons full.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes. Mine took more like 12-14 minutes.
(I had also cooled my dough in the fridge while I made dinner. Then while we ate dinner I baked the cookies off so we had fresh baked cookies for dessert. It rocked. Why did I not think of this before!? I felt totally together too. I got this baking thing.)
Try them. Eat too many of them. Share them with friends. To my knowledge baked goods never stay good for long and I end up with a crumbly mess by the third or fourth day so I've gotten better about giving away goods to everyone ;-) Want to be my neighbor!?
