Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

This recipe is for the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies I talked about in this post!  I found it surfing, and the credit goes to Karol.   Thanks Karol!   It’s awesome, just a little more time consuming than I like.  I’m not a “take my time” baker/cook.    I like things easy, however this one is worth the time!

I’m telling you, she said Comfort Cookies…and they are!  Here it is in it’s entirety.   My only addition is at the very end.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup brown sugar*
1 stick butter – 1/2 a cup
1 egg
1ts. vanilla
1 tbsp. milk
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup chocolate chips

Pre-heat over to 350 degrees. First, mix all the dry ingredients (except brown sugar) in a bowl and put to the side. No, chocolate chips are not dry. Cream the butter with brown sugar until the mixture has nice peaks. The next ingredients, add in one a time with some space inbetween additions: the egg, vanilla and milk. Put in the dry ingredients a spoonful at a time. After those are in, turn the mixer off and fold in the chips. I have a handy cookie scooper – like a mini ice cream scoop – that I got at New Seasons Market that I use. Before that I did it the old-fashioned way; two tableware spoons and some interesting handiwork. Anyway, line your cookie sheets with parchment paper (avoids icky sprays and its the original no stick liner) and place a decent size cookie on the sheet. Put the cookies in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Perfect cookies, I tell you.

My addition….I doubled it, and I also cooked my cookies on a Pampered Chef stone, and used my Pampered Chef medium scoop.  I think they need cooked for exactly 17 minutes in my gas oven.   And they are perfect!   Thanks again Karol!
