Tasty Tuesday .... On Thursday!

Hello!

Sorry it has been a crazy couple of weeks here, so I haven't been very consistent in writing. I've had several posts planned, so I am gonna go ahead and share them! 

So it's Tasty Tuesday! .... On Thursday.. :-/ lol

Today I am sharing a recipe I discovered on allrecipes.com.  If you haven't heard of this site it's great to check out!! I use it often if I want to make something but don't have a recipe for it! Like a few days ago my husband requested oatmeal cookies! And I didn't have a recipe so I looked one up on my allrecipes app. :-) 

This one is called Devouring Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies! And that they were! I made a batch and brought them to a family get together and they were gone when we left (and there were only 10 people there, lol)!!

What you'll need:
-1 Cup butter (2 sticks), softened 
-1 Cup brown sugar
-1/2 Cup white sugar
-2 eggs
-1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
-1 1/2 Cups All-purpose flour
-1 Teaspoon ground cinnamon
-1 Teaspoon baking soda
-1 Teaspoon baking powder
-1 Pinch salt (I went ahead and used 1/8 of a tsp because I had a measuring spoon for that, a pinch is approx. 1/16 of a tsp, yes I looked it up because I'm a crazy perfectionist like that, lol)
- 3 Cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 bag chocolate chips (I always use milk chocolate chips because they're my fav!)

Make and Bake:
1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or if your like me, just rub some oil around on it!
2. Beat butter, brown sugar, white sugar, eggs and vanilla until creamy.
3. Add flour, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, and baking powder. Stir, stir, stir it up!!! Or get out a mixer, they are wonderful. 
4. Gradually add oats 1 cup at a time and mix until will combined.
5. Fold in Chocolate Chips 
6. Place 2 tablespoons worth of dough per cookie on greased baking sheet (or just use a cookie scoop if you have one), make sure cookies are 2 inches apart. Bake for 9-10 minutes. Let them sit 2 minutes on the baking sheet then transfer them carefully to a cooling rack. 

Nine minutes was perfect for my oven! They came out looking doughy in the center, but once they cool they were chewy!! The ones I left in for 10 minutes, got crunchy overnight, so if you like crunchy cookies go ahead and bake them for 10! 

Here is the original recipe!!

Enjoy! 

For His Glory!
