Decided to make cookies for a friend's birthday, so I found a recipe that had 4.5 stars on allrecipes.com and they were aaaaaaamazing. Easy, quick, delicious. What more can you ask for in a cookie recipe? I barely changed this one. Cooking is an art, baking is a science, right? Recipe #3, check!
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened (I used 1/2 cup salted, 1/2 cup unsalted)
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups quick-cooking oats ***I had looked at a recipe that called for regular rolled oats and bought those, but then used this recipe, so I decided to use up the last 1.5 cups of quick oats in my cupboard and then use 1.5 cups of regular oats. I think I'd do it the same next time because the texture of these cookies was completely perfect.***
1 and 1/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir into the creamed mixture until just blended. Mix in the oats and chocolate chips. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Makes 3-4 dozen. Keep well for at least a few days... if they're not all eaten within the first 24 hours.
