These cookies are incredible! They are from Everything Meals for a Month, my first cookbook. Because they bake at a lower temperature than ordinary chocolate chip cookies, they have a very even texture and crispness. If you eat them right away, they are crisp and chewy. If you store them in an airtight container, they become tender and chewy. Try them soon!
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 14 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1-1/2 cups brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 cup oatmeal
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 2-1/4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped salted cashews, if desired
Preparation:
In large bowl, combine butter, brown sugar and sugar and beat until smooth and fluffy. Add vanilla, eggs, and egg yolk and mix well.
In blender or food processor, combine oatmeal and white chocolate chips. Grind until particles are very fine. Stir into butter mixture along with flour and baking soda. Stir in chocolate chips and cashews (if using), until blended. Cover and chill dough for at least 2 hours before baking.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto parchment paper lined cookie sheets. Bake at 325 degrees F for 12 to 16 minutes or until cookies are browned around edges and are set. Slide the parchment paper off the cookie sheet onto cooling racks and let cool. Makes about 48 cookies
