I am so glad that this recipe was in my rotation. Oatmeal cookies have always been my favorite. My mom used to make them for us once in a while when we were kids but I don't think I have ever made them myself. I was reading about all the variations of ingredients that could be mixed into this cookie and the possibilities are endless! It was a cinch to mix together all of the dry ingredients and it makes enough for 4 batches of cookies. I took out only enough for one batch (we need to keep our cookie consumption to a minimum these days!) The rest of the dry mixture will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. I'm so excited that I can make oatmeal cookies anytime I want!
When the kids got home from school I mixed the wet ingredients (an egg, water and vanilla) and added the dry ingredients. It took one minute! I love this recipe! My son, Jake, found a bag of butterscotch chips in the pantry and made the decision to add that to the mix. I used my melon baller (so glad I have that tool-never once used it to ball a melon) to measure out the dough and get consistent sized cookies. I ended up with 3 dozen.
I got the cookies packaged up and delivered them to my girlfriends at the school concert tonight. It was a fabulous concert! I'll try not to eat Danielle G.'s cookies before she gets back from her vacation...but if I do, I know it will only take one minute to whip up another batch!

Shelly the cookies look great and how nice to have a batch you can just add a few ingredients to and have a treat ready when the kids get home from school.
ReplyDeleteThe butterscotch bits sound great in it.
You are all on overload for cookies these days but in the future this will be great to have on hand. L. Sharon
I like the idea of knowing this mixture is in the frig. ready to use especially when you're in a pinch for a quick dessert. Your cookies look nice and moist and delicious with the butterscotch.
ReplyDeleteAll the boys seem to have a hand in participating with the cookies in one form or another. No better way to teach them! So happy you enjoyed this recipe. Theresa G.
Whew, when I realized that this two page cookie fell on your day, I was concerned. There was some discussion as to divide this up between all of us but I am so glad it was so successful for you. These cookies are to die for...the butterscotch chips were perfect!
ReplyDeleteShelly, the cookies look beautiful. Just for the record I haven't tried them because they did get eaten before I got home. That's o.k. though because she says she'll make me more :)
