I found this recipe online yesterday and I about jumped for joy. I love chocolate chip cookies. But sometimes the thought of having to do all the steps just for a homemade cookie makes me not want to make them. I love making brownies (homemade, of course) for the simple reason that I can make them in one bowl. Less work and less mess!
These cookies are also a one-bowl shop. LOVE IT.
I found this on The Prepared Pantry site. It seems so easy and simple that I had to repost as well. Because when you're in a hurry and you want homemade cookies without all the additives I don't think these can be beat. If, however, you have a recipe that is also just as easy but better -- please share!!
Recipe:
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large eggs
3 cups quick rolled oats
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease two baking sheets.
1. In a large bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Add the sugar and stir. Add the eggs and stir until smooth.
2. Add the oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With a large, sturdy spoon stir in the ingredients, adding the chocolate chips, part way through stirring.
3. Form golf ball sized mounds on the baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges of the cookies just start to brown. Remove from the oven, let sit for two minutes, and then remove the cookies to wire racks to cool.
Baker’s notes: The dough will become stiffer as it cools. If it is too stiff, instead of scooping mounds of dough with a spoon, use your hands to make loose balls.
My notes: I use a small ice cream scoop to make my cookies uniform. I also use Silpat non-stick baking mats for cookies and it makes it nice and easy to remove them from the pan. If you don't have Silpat baking mats -- then I recommend using parchment paper to line the pans.
Hope you enjoy!
