My All -Time Favorite Cookies

Cooler weather always makes me feel like baking. And cooler weather has most deinfinatly arrived in the Last Frontier. We are already down to the mid 30's at night.  YIKES!


Today I wanted to share my absolute favorite cookie recipie with everyone!


Frog Commissary Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies


1 cup unsalted butter


1 cup sugar


1 cup brown sugar


2 large eggs


2 tablespoons milk


2 teaspoons vanilla


2 cups all-purpose flour


1 tsp baking soda


1 tsp baking powder


1 tsp salt


1 tsp cinnamon


2 1/2 cups oats (rolled or quick)


2 cups chocolate chips 


Preheat the oven to 350 F.


With an electric mixer cream together the butter and the sugars. Mix in the egg, then the milk and the vanilla extract.


Stir the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together.


Gradually stir the flour mixture into the sugar mixture until it’s incorporated.


Stir in the oats and chocolate chips.


Drop dough, making 1 inch rounds, onto the cookie sheet, placing about 1 1/2 inches apart so they have room to spread.


Bake on center rack for 10-13 minutes, until golden brown at the edges and light golden at the center.


Cool on baking sheet for at least 1-2 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.


Makes 4 dozen


ENJOY!

Yummy Yummy Goodness!

I am a dessert freak! Any excuse to order dessert or make dessert I'll find it.  The night just isn't complete without it.  I especially love brownies and ice cream. Brownies were made for vanilla ice cream.  Especially warm brownies.  So naturally when Betty Crocker started making those warm delights I was totally on board. But those puppies aren't exactly grocery budge friendly, economical, or healthy.
