Sometimes I get in the mood to bake. I have no idea why considering I'm terrible at it. No, I really am. I'm so bad at following recipes because I skim through the lines and get them jumbled in my head and pretend I'm intelligent enough that one glance is enough and then all of a sudden wouldn't you know it I added 1 cup of flour instead of 1/2. And there is no going back with baking, I stare down at the bowl, frozen, knowing it's thinking "oh geesh, this girl can't get anything right". I keep trying though, so I'll give myself some credit. I still had all these oats in my pantry from the last time I made oatmeal raisin cookies and I wanted to make some again, but I wanted to make them with chocolate this time. The semi disaster was for some reason I told myself one stick of butter was a cup, and when I was mixing in the flour I thought "my, this batter is dry oh no way I need TWO sticks of butter oh man but it needs to soften oh to heck with it I'll microwave it, beat and toss it in now". So that's what I did. They came out great. The cookies are really tasty, though I was envisioning a Potbelly cookie sweetness, but they aren't quite as sweet. Instead of using semi-sweet chocolate chips I may use sweeter milk chocolate chips next time - do those exist? Do people bake with anything other than semi sweet?
1 cup butter, softened (this means two sticks)
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3 cups oats
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350. Cream butter and sugars together until smooth, beat in eggs, then add vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda and salt and stir into creamed mixture. Mix in the oats, walnuts and chocolate chips. Drop spoonfuls onto baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes.
