Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Hey All!! I hope you're all doing well. I wanted to post a chocolate chip oatmeal cookie recipe. This recipe is soooo good! This recipe makes plump and chewy cookies...Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 cup softened butter

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

2 eggs

2 tsp vanilla extract

1-3/4 cup flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

3-1/2 quick cooking oats

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325

In a large bowl cream together butter, brown sugar, white sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 min). Beat in eggs one at a time then stir in vanilla.

In a small bowl combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients well. Stir this mixture into the large bowl with the creamed mixture until just blended. (I would recommend mix this part by hand. You don't want to over mix the dry ingredients with the creamed mixture because that can make your cookies come out flat)

Next, mix in quick oats, chocolate chips, and walnuts (optional). Drop spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets and bake for 12 min. Let them cook on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring somewhere else to cool.

This recipe is very, very easy...and it's very, very yummy! If you try this recipe, let me know how it turns out!

Cookies and Tom's Eye

Cookies
In preparation for this weekend, I made some homemade chocolate chip cookies. Since I have become a domestic goddess, I have perfected the chocolate chip cookie. The recipe is simple and deeeelicious! Let me know if you'd like the recipe!

Tom's Eye
For those of you who saw Tom over the holidays, he finally went to the doctor and got rid of it. Don't worry...he only wore this for an hour and then let it air dry. For those of you who have no idea what's going on with Tom's eye, he had a stye that became infected over the holidays. As soon as we got home, Tom's went to a doctor who prescribed some meds. At Tom's last visit to the opthalmologist, the doc decided to just open it up so it will heal quicker. You'll see in the next post that his eye looks so much better. :)
