so yesterday i made THE BEST oatmeal cookies. they were soft and chewy and just scrumptious so i had to share the recipe with all of you. these are super easy to make and even more fun to eat. you'll have a hard time sharing these yummy little cookies.
these would be so fun to bake on a sunday afternoon...(hint hint) and they make your house smell incredible!
those are the ingredients above, but i'll type them for you just incase you can't read my chicken scratch and also so i can make a few important little notes.
ingredients:
1 cup softened butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
recipe calls for 3 cups quick cooking oats, however i suggest cutting it down to 2 for even softer chewy cookies. you may add raisins and nuts if you'd like although i am not a fan. ooh chocolate chips would be delicious too!
step one: in 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 creamed mixture. mix in oats. cover and chill dough for at least one hour.
step two: preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). grease cookie sheet. roll dough into walnut sized balls and place 2 inches aprat on cookie sheets. flatten each cookie with a large fork dipped in sugar.
step three: 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. then eat and enjoy!!!
happy baking! stay tuned for my 'oh you pretty things' post coming a little later today. xo.
