Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

My brother's favorite cookie is Oatmeal Raisin.  My husband's is Chocolate Chip.  So I decided to make a cookie that provided the best of both - and save myself some time in the kitchen.  As always, I have made this recipe using organic ingredients.  You can take any conventional recipe and substitute out organic ingredients.  It makes me feel better about baked goods to know that the ingredients were grown and processed responsibly.

Makes 3 dozen.

Ingredients:

1 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 cup chocolate chips

Here's how:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, oats, salt, baking powder and baking soda.  Set aside.

Use a whisk to combine the dry ingredients above.
In the bowl of a mixer, beat together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Add butter and brown sugar to bowl

Combined butter and sugar
Add vanilla and egg.  Beat to combine.

Vanilla and eggs added and mixing in
Slow mixer to low and add the dry ingredients until just combined.

Dry ingredients in the bowl
Add in chips and stir in by hand.

Mixture is all combined
Drop the dough in one tablespoon size balls onto the cookie sheets. 

Ready for the oven
Bake for 20 minutes until just browned.
Remove from oven and transfer cookies and parchment to wire racks and let cool.

Good enough to eat!
