Cookies Because

Since I wrote a post earlier about cookies, I had a craving to make a couple batches.

Cookie of the day? Oatmeal Chocolate Chip. I used this recipe with the following amendments. I used light brown sugar instead of dark brown and I added more chocolate chips. Because I like my cookies extra gooey and chocolaty.

These are awesome good…

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Makes 36 cookies

Ingredients:

8 oz unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 3/4 cups old-fashioned oats
10 oz chocolate chips

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

In a large mixer, combine the softened butter and brown sugar with a whisk attachment. Let whisk for 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Combine the flour, baking soda, sea salt and baking powder in a separate bowl. Slowly combine dry mix to the wet, making sure not to over-mix the batter. Add the oats and chocolate chips and combine. Refrigerate batter for 1 hour.

Using a 1 inch scoop, scoop 12 cookies onto each parchment lined baking sheet. Transfer sheets into over and bake for 10-12 minutes until the cookies just slightly turn a golden brown color on the edges. Transfer to cooling rack.
