I said last week that I was in search of a great chocolate chip cookie recipe. I solicited recipe ideas and my goal was to find a good recipe and run with it, adding my own variations and making adjustments as I felt like it. Well, I started with a great cookie recipe and made slight changes to make it better (see post below). I then made that recipe better by adding ice cream. Yummy! Just when I thought I couldn't make it any better, I did. I added oatmeal, more chocolate chips and made a flat pan of chocolate chip oatmeal bars.
My husband said they were like a delicacy. He said they tasted expensive. I think that means he liked them! He's been eating them with ice cream on top!
Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bars
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
4 teaspoons pure mexican vanilla
2 cups quick or old-fashioned oats
2 cups semi-sweet morsels (I used Hershey's chocolate chips)
Directions:
PREHEAT oven to 375° F.
COMBINE flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat brown sugar, butter and granulated sugar in large mixer bowl until creamy. Beat in eggs, milk and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in oats and morsels; mix well.
Spread out entire mixture evenly onto ungreased baking sheet.
BAKE for 9 to 10 minutes for chewy cookies or 12 to 13 minutes for crispy cookies. Cool on baking sheets for 1 minute; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
This should satisfy my chocolate chip cravings for a while. I'm heading to New Braunfels for va-cay for the rest of the week but look for some different desserts next week. I promise...no more chocolate chips for a while!
