Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie

I LOVE oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dough!!! But…since eating raw eggs is really not a good idea, I baked up these cookies.  I tried to refrained from eating too much of the uncooked dough. There is just something about raw oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dough that I find absolutely irresistible.  Here is my go to recipe for oatmeal chocolate chip cookies:

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

Yields approximately 6 dozen cookies

2 sticks butter, softened

1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tsp. vanilla extract

2 large eggs

1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp clove (a little goes a long way, so don’t over season with this spice)

3 cups old-fashion or quick cooking oats (uncooked)

2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips

Directions

Beat together butter, sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

Beat in eggs until light and fluffy.

Add flour, baking power, cinnamon, clove, and salt and mix until blended.

Stir in oats and chocolate chips

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Scoop dough into balls with 2 tsp scoop and place on cookie sheet 2 inches apart. I highly recommend using parchment paper, foil or a silicone baking sheet for the best results!

Bake 9-11 minutes until golden brown.

Enjoy and try not to eat them all at once!

Baked In Arizona has some awesome recipes on her site.  These Creamy Peanut Butter Bars are some of my absolute favorites. Her recipe is a bit different from ones that I have made it the past, but still so simple yet so delicious!

Definitely one of my very favorite treats! I highly recommend you make these! I usually give some away to friends as a gift because I cannot trust myself to not eat the entire thing all by myself.  They are so delicious!

Here is the  link and the recipe.

Creamy Peanut Butter Bars

Ingredients:
1 cup ritz crackers, crushed
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
2 cups milk chocolate chips
Instructions:
Grease a 9×13 inch pan. Set aside.
Mix the crackers, peanut butter, butter and powdered sugar together in a medium sized bowl.
Press the mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the mixture and place in a 400 degree oven for 5 minutes. Cool slightly then spread chips out with a spatula. Let the chocolate set up in the fridge (or freezer if you are impatient like me) then cut into squares and enjoy!
Notes: To make this a no-bake bar, you could melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or stove top and then spread over the top.
