Chewy Oatmeal choc-o-chip cookies

Ingredients

2 stick salted butter melted

1 cup oatmeal

2 ¼ cup flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 cup brown sugar

½ cup white sugar

1 table spoon molasses

1 whole egg

1 egg yolk

1 oz milk

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Melt butter in the microwave
  • Roughly blend the oatmeal (not super fine like flour just about half its size)
  • Combine oatmeal, baking soda and flour in a bowl
  • Cream the butter and sugar together in a mixer about 5-8 minutes
  • In another dish whisk eggs, milk, molasses and vanilla
  • Add the liquid mixture to the butter and sugar, blend till incorporated
  • Then add the flour/oatmeal mixture, mix until incorporated then stop (few seconds)
  • Scrape down the bowl, add in the chocolate chips, mix until incorporated then stop (few seconds)
  • Cover and place in the fridge for one hour
  • After an hour scoop cookies unto a prepared sheet pan and bake for 10 minutes at 400 degrees
  • After 10 minutes remove from oven and allow to rest on the hot sheet pan for 5 minutes
  • After the 5 minutes transfer them to a cooling rack to completely cool

Greedy Tips:

  • you must stick to the baking times EXACTLY!
  • They say the darker the brown sugar the chewier the cookie
  • As I do sometimes, If a recipe is heavy on the sugar I use salted butter instead of adding salt.
  • After the 10 minutes your cookies will be underdone, but resting on the hot sheet pan for 5 minutes will allow the centers to cook to perfection....and i do mean perfection!
