Easy Addictive Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
It Only Takes 15 Minutes To Prep These Amazing Cookies!
Last week my friend Melanie at work gave me her favourite cookie recipe. I think she was hoping that since I love trying new recipes, I’d make some for her. Well, she was right. I was curious to try the Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies that she had found on Allrecipes.com. Back in July I posted my favourite Oatmeal Cookie recipe, but I must admit that these cookies are fantastic as well. It’s a lighter cookie and of course the chocolate chips give it an added sweetness. Best of all, this dessert is easy and quick to make and I had all the ingredients on hand. Me and Melanie devoured these at work and I’m sure you and your friends will too. Enjoy!
CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP OATMEAL COOKIES
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed 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 chopped walnuts (optional)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until just blended. Mix in the quick oats, walnuts, and chocolate chips. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.
Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
