I have to say there is just something about an oatmeal cookie that warms the soul...maybe its how soft they are, or, the delicious cinnamon and oats. Maybe just maybe.. I made these today and I have to say oatmeal cookies are one of my favorites because you can do so much with them...they can be plain, have fruit, have chocolate chips, have nuts, they can even be iced... still trying to find a good hard oatmeal cookie to make and ice. On with the recipe. Today i experimented with peanut butter chocolate chips, YUM!
this recipe makes anywhere from 15-24 cookies.
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, or a little more if you prefer
1 cup chocolate chips
preheat oven to 375
Beat butter and sugars together until smooth. Add egg and vanilla, mix well. Next stir in flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. Beat in the oats. Mix until the dough comes together...if crumbly add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until dough forms. Mix in chocolate chips. Place in refrigerator for 30 - 45 minutes. Remove dough from fridge and roll into about 1 - 1 1/2 inch balls. Place on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart and lightly press down on the dough to flatten it. Bake for 9-11 minutes. Place on wire rack to cool.
