Today we're going to share a recipe that we've been using for years! Who doesn't love the classic chocolate chip cookie? This batch of cookies has some oatmeal in it, for those of us that are still about about keeping up healthy eating habits in the new year (disclaimer: these cookies aren't really THAT healthy).
INGREDIENTS (yield is about 40 cookies depending on size)
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups rolled oats
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (we used a combination of butterscotch and chocolate chips this time. mix and match is a good way to go if you're feeling adventurous)
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat
oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or line with
parchment paper.
- Cream
butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla until very smooth and fluffy.
- In a
separate bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
In a food processor, blend oatmeal until fine (NOTE: this has to be fine or the cookies will turn out "weird"). Add to flour mixture
- Stir
butter mixture into flour/oatmeal mixture. Blend well
- Add
chocolate chips and walnuts. Stir until blended.

- Roll into golf balls size
and bake for 8-10 minutes in the second level from the bottom of the oven. You do not want to over bake these.

These tiny little balls are filled with goodness. If you're a chocolate fiend, adding a few extra chocolate chips would not hurt at all

| The final product! pardon the shadow, we baked this late at night. |
