Oatmeal Raisin Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love weekends.. the only time I get to sleep in as much as I want to make up for the early morning calls the entire past week. Needless to say I had the laziest morning today. Woke up at 11am, made breakfast (or lunch?) and spent some time in the kitchen trying out a new cookie recipe I came across last week from browneyedbaker.com. Absolutely love the texture and flavour! and because it contains oatmeal, it is not AS sinful. teehee

What you will need!

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon (omitted)
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (omitted)
3 cups oats
1 cup raisins
1 cup dark chocolate chips

 

Method?

1. Preheat oven to 375.

2. In a large bowl, beat butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla extract until well blended. In a medium bowl combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture, stirring just until combined.

3. Fold in rolled oats, raisins, and walnuts (in this case, chocolate chips). Drop dough by rounded teaspoons (I used a cookie scoop) about 2 inches apart onto a cookie sheet.

4. Bake for 8 - 10 minutes (mine took 12 minutes) or until edges are lightly browned. Cool 2 minutes and remove to wire rack to cool completely.
