How I get my kids to eat oatmeal cookies.

I make cookies! Of course…
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies!
turn oven on 375*
whip 3/4 cup of soft butter in the mixer
toss in 1 cup brown sugar
throw in 1/2 cup sugar
then 1 tsp baking powder
1/2 baking soda
1/4 cinnamon
then 2 eggs (mixer should still be going!)
1 tsp vanilla
slowly add about 2 c flour.
In a pan on the stove over medium, melt some butter. Once it’s melted, add 2 cups of rolled oats. Cook them in the butter until they start to turn tan and you can smell them. MMM yum. Now put them in the mixer and thoroughly mix it all together.
Add a bag of chocolate chips. My fav are Ghiradelli, but I’m fancy like that. Mix them in with a spoon. Don’t flip them in the mixer because that is lazy, and chocolate chips don’t like to get all banged up.
Drop them on your cookie tray, bake 8-10 min. I watch the first batch to see how long it takes, and go from there. I leave them on a cookie sheet to cool for a few minutes, then I transfer them to paper grocery bags to soak up extra grease. I hate greasy cookies.
Finito, and eat-o! Brinn loves them, and these babies will keep you safe from the constipation monster! (often I throw in flaxseed meal, but was too lazy today)
