These cookies are my little brother's favorite cookie of all time. I think it's the brown sugar and oatmeal are his love language. He was the kid who ate oatmeal/brown sugar hot cereal EVERY morning. So, for his Christmas goodie I'm making these...
Mix 1 cup butter with 1 and 1/2 cups brown sugar. It doesn't matter if
it's light or dark brown sugar.... it's all good no matter what!
Mix
until creamy.
Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (use the good stuff!) and one egg. And no
my egg doesn't have blood in it, it's the vanilla in the picture.
Mix until smooth. Add 1 and 1/2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon backing soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 2 cups instant rolled oats.
Mix until large crumbs form. Add a HEAPING cup of dark chocolate chips.
My chips don't look the same because I had several bags of different
brands but trust me it's no biggie that they don't match... they all
taste delicious!
Mix until chocolate chips are evenly distributed.
I placed my dough in the freezer becasue one bag is for my little
brother (he in college) and the other bag is for next week at Christmas.
Now if you are going to go ahead and make the dough now here's what you do.... using your handy dandy cookie ball scooper. Before I can go on I must confess my deep love for mine! It's by far the best kitchen tool ever know to man..... well at least me anyway! Okay back to cookie dough.... place cookie dough balls on cookie sheet and place in preheated oven set to 350 degrees and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool. This recipe make approximately 4 dozen.
Enjoy!
