Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

 Yum – these cookies are awesome – and if you’re like me and hate raisins in your oatmeal cookies, you will probably fall in love.

 These oatmeal cookies are the bomb diggity. 

I am not usually a big fan of oatmeal cookies – I’m usually of the mindset that it’s similar to carrot cake (which I HATE – YUK) – in as much that you’re trying to fool yourself into believing something completely unhealthy has a morsel of health inside of it.

Well, I don’t care if these are or are not healthy (spoiler alert: they are not, sadly) – but they taste great and will make mouths happy.

Sometimes, you just want a GD cookie or dessert and it isn’t gonna be good for you.

But, these do taste incredible, and right out of the oven, I’m not gonna lie, it’s one of those you just can’t stop popping an extra one in your mouth.

I found these from Linda Skeen’s Instagram account where she shares the recipe – I altered it to change the dried cherries and used chocolate chips vs. white. I also omitted the nuts in mine.

I hope you love them as much as I do (did – they’re long gone).

Pretty amazing cookies - simple to make

Altered from: Linda Skeen's Instagram

Ingredients

  • 1 c butter, softened
  • 1 c brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 c white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 c quick oats
  • 1 1/2 c all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 c chocolate chips
  • 1 c nuts, chopped (optional) - your choice of pecans, walnuts, macadamia, whichever you like most

Instructions

    1. Preheat your oven to 350F. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until they are light and fluffy. Beat in your eggs, honey, and vanilla.
    2. In another mixing bowl, mix together your oats, flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Slowly beat this mixture into your creamed mixture from step 1.
    3. Fold in the remaining ingredients. The mixture will be a bit wet. Distribute cookie mix by 1 rounded spoonful about 2 inches apart on pregreased baking sheets.
    4. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown - to your preference of darker or softer cookies. Rest for 2 minutes then place on wire rack to cool.

Notes

You may add your favorite choice of nuts if you wish - or, if you prefer no nuts, leave them out.
