Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
Why I Love This Recipe
Ingredients You'll Need
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 TBS sugar
2 large eggs
11/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/4 cups old-fashioned oats
2 cups Ghiridelli Chocolate Chips {I used chocolate chunks}
3/4 cup walnuts, (toasted and COOLED) {I ommitted these}
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F.
With a mixer, beat butter and sugars in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat until just blended. Add in vanilla, baking soda, and salt. Beat well.
With a spoon, gently mix in flour until just blended. Gently stir in oats, chocolate chips and walnuts. Do not over mix.
Place rounded spoonfulls of dough on sheets about 2 inches apart.
Bake for about 10-13 minutes or until the edges start turning golden. For a crispier cookie, cook until completely golden, 15-16 minutes. Watch carefully, as 30 seconds can make the difference between "chewy" and "rock hard".
Cool cookies on sheets for 1 minute, then transfer to a rack to cool completely
