If I am making cookies it is usually these ones. They are my ultimate favourite, crispy edges and a little chewy in the middle. Inspired by a Quaker Oats recipe.
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
1 cup butter, softened
(you can substitute 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted, for half the butter, delicious!)
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup white sugar
Cream the first three ingredients until well mixed.
2 eggs
2 tablespoons of milk
2 teaspoons of vanilla
Add the next three ingredients into the bowl with the creamed butter and sugars. Mix well. I usually use a hand mixer for blending in the first two steps.
After the first six ingredients are well blended add in:
1-3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
It is usually recommended to measure the dry ingredients into a separate bowl and then mix into the wet ingredients but it still turns out fine if you just add them directly
into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
1 cup old fashinioned rolled oats
1-1/2 cups quick oats
Mix until combined.
2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
Mix and then use a small scoop to drop cookies spaced a couple inches apart on to a cookie sheet line with parchment paper. Bake cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, take them out when just beginning to brown around the edges.
