Speaking of chaos...this last Monday, my husband was in his first accident (thankful that everyone is safe...now to await the insurance fun) and I decided to make some comforting cookies for when he got home.
He was pretty upset most of the day, especially since he was not at fault, but was treated that way at the scene...so emotions were pretty high...bring on the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies!!
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (I used Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free)
- 2 drops of Cinnamon Bark Vitality Oil (or 1 tsp ground cinnamon)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup pure cane sugar
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup quick oats
- 1 2/3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 drops of Nutmeg Vitality Oil (optional)
- 3/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together dry ingredients and set aside.
- In a separate bowl (or an electric mixer) whip together butter, sugar and brown sugar until creamy. Slowly mix in egg and vanilla extract.
- Slowy mix in dry ingredients (if using electric mixer, use the lowest option) and stir in oats, walnuts and chocolate chips.
- Use a cookie dropper, or large spoon to place into rounded onto a baking sheet with Silipat or parchment paper. Leave about 1 1/2-2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 11 - 14 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
- Cool on baking sheet 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container.
