So, obviously other aspects of my life have taken over lately and I have completely neglected my blog. Well, I am back at it. I thought my first post should be something to win you all back. Cookies anyone?
I am the sort of person who cannot pass up a warm chocolate chip cookie, so when my aunt served me these warm cookies I was hooked. In order to always be able to serve my craving for a warm cookie, I keep a bag of cookie balls in the freezer. They are so easy to make and each night I can throw a few in the oven and have a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie! Here's how:
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies, Everyday!
Recipe:
1 c Butter
1 c Sugar
1 c Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla
2 c Flour
2 1/2 c Oats
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Baking Powder
12 oz Mini Chocolate Chips
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large mixer cream butter and sugar, add eggs and vanilla.
Mix flour, oats, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a separate bowl. Add to creamed mixture. When thoroughly mixed, stir in chocolate chips.
Bake for 6 minutes when dough is fresh, not frozen. If cooking frozen cookie balls bake for around 12 minutes.
Some possible variations:
Add 1.5 c of chopped nuts
Blend oats in a blender to a fine powder, providing for a smoother cookie
To Freeze:
When I am making a batch of these cookies I usually freeze the majority of the dough to enjoy at a later date. Using an ice cream scoop, create cookie balls. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze (this prevents one large mass of cookies stuck together). Once frozen place in a sealed baggie. Cookies are good for around 1-2 months.
Enjoy!
