"Mama, it looks so good and it is big". "I like it when you make cookies mama".
I can't blame the kid, I would like and love the person who would always bake cookies for me. These huge, chunky, chewy, and delicious cookies are so easy to make. Instead of using sweetened chocolate bark, I used regular chocolate chips. Melted it, cooled it and chopped 'em into pieces. Not to be complicated in the kitchen but I wanted to see if the result would be the same or better.
Result? Success! There were chunks of chocolate mixed with the small pieces that were perfectly and deliciously blended with the oatmeal cookie.
Ingredients:
3 cups old fashioned oats
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup, unsalted butter softened
1 cup white sugar (can substitute for Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener)
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup, chopped walnuts
8 oz bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Directions:
Line a cookie sheet with parchment or wax paper. Melt the 8oz. bag of chocolate chips in increments of 10-15 seconds, mix between melting. Or you can melt the chocolate chips in a bowl on top of a pot of hot water. Transfer the melted chocolate chips on the prepared cookie sheet. Spread to make a layer. Let it cool, set aside and let it harden. When the chocolate chips solidify, roughly chop it into chunks. It doesn't have to be uniform. Mine had small and big chunks.
Line your cookie sheet with parchment or silicone liner, set aside. Cream butter and sugars until smooth and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Mix the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry (flour mixture) ingredients into the creamed butter mixture. Stir in oats and walnuts. Fold in the chopped chocolate chunks. Place the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Using an ice cream or cookie scooper ( I used a 2 tbsp ice cream scooper), drop the cooled, rounded dough onto your prepared cookie sheet, at least 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes.
These cookies are gooey, chunky, and delicious! These monster oatmeal chocolate cookies will surely win anybody's palate. What's not to love?
Though I have not met any cookie that I didn't love, there are some exceptions to the rule. I'm not a big fan of really hard cookies or cookies that claim to be chocolate chip cookie but you rarely see the chocolate..chocolate chips that go hide and seek on you. THIS cookie is not the "hide and seek chocolate chip" type of cookie.
