It's pretty dry.
Playing around with cookie recipes is somehow just asking for trouble...trouble to your waist line.
Moving past that silly fact, homemade cookies are so wonderful to make. Among the obvious deliciousness reasons to eat and share, they also make your house smell good.
I adore cinnamon. The spice that gently tops my latte each morning just makes everything feel more fancy and decadent (perhaps, I just adore lattes...). Yesterday, I though I would try out some cinnamon chocolate chip cookies, kind of like traditional Mexican hot chocolate, except in the cookie form. I threw in some oatmeal too (cause, why not).
Here's what you need:
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon of salt
1 1/2-2 teaspoons of cinnamon
2 teaspoons of baking powder
2 cups oatmeal
1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips (or whatever flavor chips you desire)
Parchment paper
Cookie sheet
Take out 1 cup of butter, or 2 sticks and let come to room temperature while you go do something productive....like drinking a latte...or re-calking the shower (just kiddin, that's still not done). Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees.
Add 1 cup of brown sugar and 1 cup of white sugar to the bowl (then giggle when you mistakenly make dirty pictures by accident...tee-hee)
Cream together (tee-hee...)
Add 2 1/2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 1/2-2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, and 2 teaspoons of baking soda to a bowl.
Fork or whisk together.
Add to butter-sugar mixture.
Mix.
Crack 3 eggs.
Beat together.
Add in egg-vanilla mixture in and mix until evenly combined.
Take off mixer. Add 2 cups of oatmeal and mix in (you'll want a good sized wooden spoon a this point.
Add 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips (or whatever flavor chips you desire).
Mix together.
Cookie sheet. Add a piece of parchment paper to it.
Spoon out dough.
Bake at 375 degrees for 12-14 minutes.
Yummzers.
Store in an airtight container.
Or eat....
Or share...
