Cooking with the kids

It was rainy today so what better way to pass the time than to bake something!  I found a yummy recipe that looked awesome....Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies! Plus I had all the ingredients....or so I thought. I didn't have the chocolate chips so I used my food processor and chopped up two Toberlone candy bars. It ended up turning out!

Here is the recipe:

Chewy Chocolate Chips Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients-

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup packed light brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

2 eggs

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 

2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

3 cups quick cooking oats

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325°.

2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar until smooth.  Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla.  Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; stir into creamed mixture until just blended. Mix in the quick oats, walnuts and chocolate chips. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto a nonstick baking sheet.

3. Bake for 12 minutes in preheated oven. Take out of the oven, leave on the cookie sheet for one minute and put on a cooling rack for 5 minutes. Store in airtight container.

The recipe makes six dozen cookies! 

Enjoy!!!!!

That's all for now! Till next time, Emileigh
