Love Cookies

While FH napped away his jetlag (flew in from Scotland today, in case I never mentioned that before) I decided to make him a treat to pack along to Ontario with him.  He’s not sure what his living arrangement is when he gets there, but chances are it’s dormitory style with a bunch of other stinky boys…and there surely won’t be homemade cookies there!

Recipe:  Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Courtesy of: my gal Heather (she came to the rescue with this recipe when I whined that my last few batches of choco chippers didn’t turn out)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs (room temp is best)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 cups flour
• 2 cups whole oats
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 300 grams chocolate chips (I prefer milk chocolate, but use whatever you like.  Even Glosette Raisins work well.)

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Cream butter, sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl.
• Mix in eggs and vanilla.
• In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
• Add dry mix to wet mix in a couple of stages, combining well.
• Add chocolate chips, combine.
• Roll dough into small balls and place 2 inches apart on lightly greased or parchment lined cookie sheets. (I placed in freezer for a few minutes to firm up because they are quite soft.)
• Bake for 8-10 minutes until cookie bottoms are golden brown.

Yields somewhere around 4 dozen.
