OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
(*My personal Favorite...I've never tasted a cookie I like better!)
There is something about these cookies, they are the chewiest and softest cookies I have ever had! Seriously...AMAZING! And the dough when frozen, the best little treat ever! Save some dough just to freeze it! These cookies are a MUST-TRY!
As if the cookie itself isn't enough, I love to add a little fun to this dessert when having friends over...this is the best and everyone loves it! I use this cookie dough recipe to make pizookies! (Obviously inspired by the pizookies at BJ's Pizza-pictured above!) They are one of my favorite desserts on the planet with this recipeq! You just take the dough and spread a thin layer on each ramekin! Then bake all together on a cookie sheet! Then put a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and serve immediately! Everyone gets their own special dessert! And the combination of the hot and cold and chewy oatmeal couldn't be better! And it is so easy but seems like a special, unique dessert! Can't wait to hear what you think about these babies!!!

INGREDIENTS:
2 cubes butter, softened (1 cup)
1 1/4 cups brown sugar, packed down
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 1/2 Tablespoons milk, (any percentage, just whatever you have)
2 1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/2 cups Quick Quaker Oats, uncooked (OR 3 cups Old Fashioned oats)
2 cups chocolate chips (I love the mini chocolate chips in these cookies because then you get an even amount of chocolate flavor throughout the cookie, and it just really works with the texture of the cookie!) But if I don't have mini's, they are perfectly good with regular chocolate chips!
OPTIONAL: Every so often when I feel like adding a little something extra, I add somecoconut! So good! But not for everyone!
HOW TO:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the butter and sugar. Add the eggs, milk and vanilla. Then add the flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until combined but don't over-mix or your cookies will be tough!
stir in the oats and chocolate chips. Then bake for about 7-10 minutes, depending on size! ENJOY!
Micah took this one...and right when they come out of the oven I like to put a few
"normal-sized" chocolate chips on top of each. They are much more enticing that way!
I guess I got caught eating one too...I didn't know Micah was taking a picture!
