Day 10

A Favorite Food and Recipe

mmm, Ryan's mom makes the best chocolate chip cookies! They stay soft and chewy for days, and are full of chocolate chips! With just a little bit of oatmeal, they have a yummy texture that is so addicting! I'm sure many of you already have a favorite CCC recipe, but I HIGHLY recommend trying this one! Kim's cookies won't let you down!

Ingredients:

1 lb. butter (4 cubes)

2 C. packed brown sugar

1 3/4 C. white sugar

4 eggs

4 C. flour (might need an extra 1/4 C. depending on the thickness at the end)

3-4 C. quick oatmeal (depending on how much you like)

1 tsp. salt

2 tsp. baking soda

3-4 C. chocolate chips (we use semi-sweet)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Using a large standing mixer

1. Cream butter
2. Slowly add packed brown sugar and white sugar while still mixing the butter
3. Beat butter and sugar on med-high for 2-4 minutes, until fluffy
4. Add eggs to mixture one at a time
5. Add vanilla, and set aside.
6. In separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt
7. Alternate adding flour mixture and oatmeal into the butter mixture, about a cup at a time.
8. Stir in chocolate chips

• Cookie Dough should be slightly sticky to touch, not runny (add more flour to the dough 1 Tbls. at a time until it's stiffer.)
• Spray cookie sheet with Pam Spray
• Place rounded tablespoon sized drops onto cookie sheet
• Bake for 10 minutes
• Remove from oven, and place on a paper towel covered cooling rack

After cooking them, you can put some into freezer zip lock bags, and freeze until a later time, then you have yummy fresh cookies anytime!
