Hi friends,
This afternoon I modified a recipe I found in a cookie cookbook and came up with one tasty oatmeal chocolate chip cookie (and I'll be honest-- mine looked WAY better than the pictured cookies in the cookbook).
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Makes ~50 cookies, 3 Weight Watchers points for 2 cookies
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
Dash of salt
1/2 cup butter at room temperature
1/2 cup superfine sugar (or regular if you don't have superfine)
1/2 cup light brown sugar (not packed)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
1 cup oats
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift together first 4 ingredients small bowl, set aside. With an electric mixer, cream together butter and both sugars. Add egg and vanilla extract, beat until light and somewhat fluffy. Add flour mixture and blend on low until thoroughly mixed. Stir in oats and chocolate chips, mixing well. Using a melon baller or cookie dough scoop sprayed with nonstick spray, drop rounded balls onto cookie sheet, with one inch space in between cookies. Bake 9-10 minutes until edges appear firm, but still soft to the touch in the middle. Transfer and cool on wire racks.

Heather,
ReplyDeleteI made these cookies today. Not being one to play around with recipes, I followed it just as you had written. However when I gathered all the ingredients it didn't occur to me that you didn't list any eggs until I was reading the part about add edd & vanilla. So, I assumed it was just one egg that went in the recipe? It seemed to be ok. Also, it said to add super fine surgar so I used confectioners suger. Is that what you meant? I should have added walnuts and didn't think of that until they came out of the oven. Thanks for the recipe. :-)

Yes, I guess I left out the egg! Oops, thanks for catching that. Super-fine sugar is actually different from confectioners (it's almost a cross between confectioners and regular sugar, but it's heavy and pours like regular sugar), but it sounds like it worked out ok with your batch. I think you could use regular sugar next time.
ReplyDeleteWaluts would be a great addition!
