Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie

Good Morning, You have know idea how thrilled I am to be posting by 9:30 in the morning. After last weeks debacle and taking more than 2 days to deliver my cookies I had to recover by completing my batches early today.

Chocolate Chips cookies are my thing. I have the Nestle recipe memorized and could make them in my sleep. Growing up in was not unusual for me to come home from school and make a batch of Chocolate Chip cookie dough. Yes, just the dough! My brother and I would eat it till it made us sick to our stomach then my Dad would finish it off when he came home. So this recipe was pretty easy.

The only major difference in this recipe is using crisco over butter and adding the oatmeal. To be consistent I decided it would be a good idea to burn one batch. Not in the original plan but once I walked the kids outside to grab the bus, the fresh air must have put a trance on me. The next thing I knew, I engaged in a long conversation with a neighbor and as I started to walk back inside, my baking brain woke up this made me run. Obviously the cookies were going to be burnt but I wondered "How bad?" We'll just say I will be throwing that dozen away.

It's a great start to the day. Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone. Back to blog in 4 more days. Angie

  2. Angie, you had me cracking up this morning reading about you and your brother eating the dough and then dad finishing it off. That was me and my siblings. Eating cookie dough was partly the reason I started to bake. When mom baked, we finished off every speck of dough in the bowl. Your cookies look wonderful. Another good job. Theresa G.

  3. The family loves the cookies. Oatmeal chocolate chip has been my favorite since I was a kid. I would have eaten the burnt ones...

  4. Let me just start by saying it is not a good idea to deliver my cookies to me at work. I have had three of these huge, delicious, yummy, cookies today. Normally I leave all cookies at home because otherwise I will eat them. So thank goodness there were many in our delivery today so I can still share with the family.
    Thanks they are delish!!
    Love,
    Danielle G.
