Dark Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
Today we are celebrating a friend's girlfriend's birthday. Since I do not know here very well, I figured that a gift of a bottle of wine and a batch of home baked cookies is a fitting gift. I've met her a couple times, she likes sweets and does enjoy a drink, so this should be perfect.
2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 12 ounce bag dark chocolate chip morsels (can use milk or semisweet if preferred)
Heat the oven to 350°F. I use cookie sheets lined with parchment paper but you can use ungreased cookie sheets if you prefer.
Sift together flour, baking soda and salt; stir in oats in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Cream butter in a large mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer until smooth. Add granulated sugar; mix until combined. Repeat with brown sugar, eggs one at a time and vanilla. Add dry ingredient mixture; mix just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
Scoop dough onto cookie sheets. Bake in preheated oven 8 to 11 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Remove cookies to cooling rack to cool completely.
Makes 30 to 34 large cookies or 60 to 72 small cookies.
