I definitely have my second son to thank for any interest I have in baking. I've never had much of a sweet tooth, but when I was pregnant with him, I LOVED to make cookies. Funny thing is, the kid didn't even touch his birthday cake, or these cookies. I found this recipe on allrecipes.com . I halfed the recipe, and added 1/2 cup chopped pecans and 1/2 cup and 1/2 cup white/milk chocolate chips. I also only didn't have quite enough oatmeal, so I added some ground flaxseed. They were YUM!
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3 cups quick cooking oats
Directions
- In a medium bowl, cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in oats. Cover, and chill dough for at least one hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. Roll the dough into walnut sized balls, and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. Flatten each cookie with a large fork dipped in sugar.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
