Oatmeal Chocolate Cookies – Crispy Oatmeal and Chocolate Cookies
These crisp cookies are absolutely delicious. They are great for anytime of the year and are loved by adults and kids alike. Here is what you are going to need for these:
Makes 60 cookies
1 cup softened unsalted butter
1 cup white sugar
½ cup molasses or ¾ cup brown sugar
2 eggs – room temperature
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups flour
2 cups rolled oats
1 tsp. baking soda
¼ tsp. salt
1 cup rice cereal
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with a silicon mat or parchment paper.
Place the softened butter in a bowl. Add the sugar and molasses (or brown sugar if using) and, cream until uniform. Add the eggs, one by one, and beat after each addition.
In another bowl, mix together the flour, oats, baking soda and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter. Mix until everything is incorporated. Do not over-mix as your cookies will be tough.
Add the rice cereal and chocolate chunks. Mix carefully until incorporated. Scoop onto lined baking sheet – leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. These cookies will spread and will stick to each other if they are too close to each other.
Bake the cookies between 8 to 10 minutes – turning the baking sheet in the oven half way through. The cookies will be ready when they start having a golden edge. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool down for about 5 minutes on the sheet. Transfer them to cooling racks and cool down completely. Serve and enjoy!
