It's a delicious treat and easy to make. I always add a little bit more cinnamon but you don't have to. I did mess up when I used the Kitchen Aid. Let's just say I forgot to put the dishtowel over the top of the Kitchen Aid and there was oatmeal was everywhere! Oops! Okay, here's the recipe:
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 of a teaspoon of coconut or almond extract (secret ingredient)
1-1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
3 cups of oats
1- 11oz bag of chocolate chips
(I like to use Guittard brand milk chocolate chips)
Now here's the instructions:
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Beat together butter and sugars until creamy.
3. Add eggs and vanilla, beat well.4. In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda cinnamon and salt; mix well.
5. Add flour. Mix to butter & sugar mix and mix well.
6. Stir in oats and chocolate chips; mix well.
7. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls on to ungreased cookie sheet.
6. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown.9. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet.
Well, that's all. Enjoy!
