The English Hungry Bookworm

So I had a free twenty minutes today and as I feel guilty for being so busy lately I thought I would spend some time baking for you lovely people.

So today I made Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies from a recipe that was Facebook stalking me! I will say that it was easy, simple and I already had everything in the cupboard!

So if you want to make some of these which I highly recommend follow the recipe below:

Ingredients

• 2/3 cups butter softened
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 1/2 cup large-flake rolled oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Line rimless baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
3. In large bowl, beat butter with sugar until fluffy; beat in egg and vanilla. In separate bowl, whisk together rolled oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt – stir into butter mixture until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
4. Scoop dough (about heaping 1 tbsp), about 5 cm apart, onto prepared pans. Bake in top and bottom thirds oven, rotating and switching pans halfway through, until golden, about 12 minutes. Transfer to rack; let cool. (Make-ahead: Store in airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 weeks.)
