Still marching down the yellow brick road


As this week begins I am still working on the last of the cookies for the Wizard of Oz Bake sale. Today's cookies....Oatmeal chocolate chip. I got this recipe from my friend Samantha who happened to have recently received the rum drenched vanilla cake. I decided to use chocolate chips since this is geared towards kids. I thought that Chocolate would go over better than the orange flavored cranberries that she suggested. Although, I am REALLY looking forward to making them that way!

The dough for these cookies is wonderful. I prefer dough over the actual baked cookies....but these were good both ways!

Recipe from: Samantha Andriacchi Johnson
1 3/4 c rolled oats
3/4 c flour
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/4 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1/3 c packed light brown sugar
1/3 c sugar
1 large egg
1/2 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 375. Grease baking sheets. Stir together oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Beat together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and beat until combined well. Add oat mixture and beat until just combined.

Drop dough by tablespoons 2 inches apart onto baking sheets and flatten mounds slightly with moistened fingers. Bake cookies in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until golden, about 12 mins total.
