Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Delights
So, you’ve all had a chocolate chip cookie. You’ve probably enjoyed an oatmeal cookie a time or four too. But I’ll go out on a limb here to say this is one of the tastiest combinations of two you’ll ever inhale.
Cookies are one of my favorite desserts to bake. They are easy, they make just about everyone happy and they take very little time. Plus, they are a great way to spice up the otherwise bland “loaned tupperware container return.”
Oh, you know what I’m talking about — that stack of tupperware in your cabinet that you’ve collected from leftovers at friend’s homes. It should be called “mysteryware.” If there is a corresponding lid to be found, I call it a good day. If I can remember where it came from in the first place — a great day.
This container had birthday dinner leftovers in it from more than a month ago at Adam and Kim’s place. This morning it was returned with chocolate chip oatmeal delights.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 4 teaspoons hot water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
And if you are lucky like me, you’ll pull them out of the oven with a sweet birdie potholder. My friend Tina surprised me with this yesterday and I already put it to great use. Love it!
