Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Baking cookies on Friday afternoon has pretty much become a weekly event, but I think I'm going to make something other than cookies this Friday.

Although I'm not quite sure what I am going to make, I am sure of these cookies from a few Fridays ago.

These cookies in particular are full of oats and chocolate chips. I love oatmeal cookies and enjoyed the chocolate addition.



Oats!

 

Chocolate! 

 

Ready to go! 

Also, this recipe makes soo many cookies. You'll have plenty to keep and even more to give away. 

Make these this Friday! 

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

adapted from Joy the Baker

makes 3-4 dozen cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup brown sugar, packed

2 large eggs

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips 

Directions: 

Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. 

In a medium bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon and salt. Set aside. 

Cream the butter and sugars in the bowl of an electric mixer with a paddle attachment until creamy, 3-4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. 

Bake 10-13 minutes in preheat oven. These are best when slightly underdone, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
