For my grandfather’s 70th birthday I decided to make him his favorite dessert (oatmeal raisin cookies). I don’t really like oatmeal raisin cookies, so I made a batch of oatmeal raisin cookies for him and a batch of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies for me and the rest of my family. This recipe was very easy to make. Hope you enjoy! 

Ingredients: 

• 1 cup of salted butter, softened 
• 1 cup of white sugar 
• 1 cup of packed light brown sugar 
• 2 eggs 

• 1 ½ tsp of vanilla extract 
• 2 cups of all-purpose flour 
• ½ tsp of baking soda 
• ½ tsp of baking powder 
• ¾ tsp of ground nutmeg 
• ¼ tsp of allspice 
• ½ tsp of ground cinnamon 
• 1 tsp of salt 

• 3 cups of Quaker oats 
•  add milk chocolate chips to preference 
• If you don’t have all the spices I mentioned and don’t want to buy them all you can use 1 tsp of pumpkin spice instead. 

 

Directions: 

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F 
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, light brown sugar, and white sugar until combined. 
3. Add nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and stir well until combined. 
4. Add eggs and vanilla extract and stir well. 
5. Add flour and stir until combined. 
6. Add oats one cup at a time and stir to combine. 
7. Mix in Milk chocolate chips. 
8. Form dough into 1-inch balls and place on baking sheet with enough room to spread out to about 3 inches. 
9. Bake 10-13 minutes until the cookies look almost done (they continue to bake a little bit after you take them out). 
10. Remove cookies oven and leave them on the baking sheet for 4-5 minutes to finish cooking, (and just for looks) press milk chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies while they are still warm. 
11. Remove them from the baking sheet to cool.
