While we were house-sitting for my parents, I wanted to bake a few treats for us to enjoy throughout the weekend. Michael chose coffee cake and chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. The coffee cake did not turn out as well as we'd hoped so we're going to keep searching for a better recipe before posting. However, the chocolate chip oatmeal cookies turned out just as we'd hoped.
Ingredients
1 cup butter, very softened
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups quick-cooking oats
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (we used about 1 1/2 cups because we love chocolate so much)
Directions
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar.
Beat in the eggs on at a time and then stir in the vanilla.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Slowly mix into the large bowl.
Using a wooden spoon or a spatula mix the oats and chocolate chips into the batter.
Make spoonful balls of dough and put onto ungreased baking sheets.
Bake at 325 degrees for about 12 minutes. It's ok if the cookies still look doughy when you take them out, as they will harden a bit while cooling.
