I am one of those people who bakes what is humorously referred to as "funeral food" - you know - food you send to someone when they have suffered the loss of a loved one. So the recipe must be good and something that just about everyone would enjoy. Cue the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!
I have a few recipes for cookies on this site, but this one is very easy & just about fail proof, so I highly recommend it for situations like funerals. And to my friend "S"; I do hope you enjoyed your cookies even though you received them under terrible circumstances. XOXO.
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until just blended. Mix in the quick oats, walnuts, and chocolate chips.
- Place dough in fridge for 1 hour to chill (overnight is also fine)
- Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Do not overbake! Cookies may not look completely done, but please remove them from the oven at 12 minutes!
* Makes 3 dozen cookies*
