Organic Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

(Recipe by @andriaorganichomecooking)

I’m always on the search for the perfect cookie recipe.  I received this recipe from a family friend over 10 years ago and I modified it slightly over the years to the recipe it is today.  I have tried so many variations of oatmeal cookie recipes but I always come back to this one. It really is the perfect oatmeal cookie!  I hope you like the recipe, it’s been a family favourite for so many years!  If you make it, let m know how it turns out!  Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS (I use organic ingredients): 1 cup of butter

1 cup of organic unrefined brown sugar

½ cup of organic raw unrefined sugar (fine)

1 egg

1 tsp madagascar vanilla extract

1 ½ cups oatmeal 

1 ½ cups flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 cup dark chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS:

In a stand mixer, add butter (ensure it’s at room temperature) and sugar and mix until smooth.  Add the egg and mix on medium-low speed until mixed thoroughly.  

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and baking soda together and to the wet ingredients, add the oats and then mix until on low speed until completely mixed together. (The dough will get thick).  Remove from the mixer, and stir in the chocolate chips with a spatula/wooden spoon.   Wrapt the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 mins before baking (TIP: refrigerating cookie dough before baking will stop it from spreading too much and going flat)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.  After 30 mins remove the cookie dough from the fridge and using a small ice cream scooper, (TIP: Using an ice-cream scooper makes the cookies come out perfectly round and the exact same size) - scoop out the cookie dough and place 2 inch apart on the tray and back in the oven for 10-12 mins or until light golden brown.  10 mins the cookies are more chewy, 12 mins the cookies are more crunchy.

The oatmeal cookie flavor and the rich, creamy cookie butter flavor in these Oatmeal Cookie Butter Bars go so well together. Chocolate chips on top make them even more delicious. Just what you need to satisfy your sweet tooth!

Ingredients: 1 cup oatmeal cookie mix. 1/4 cup melted butter. 1/2 cup cookie butter. 1 egg. 1/2 cup chocolate chips.

Instructions: Warm the oven up to 175F 350C. Melt the butter, add the cookie butter, and beat the egg in a bowl until everything is well mixed. Put the mix in the bottom of an 8x8-inch baking pan that has been greased. Add chocolate chips all over the top in an even layer. Bake for twenty to twenty-five minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Wait until it's cool to cut it into bars.
