Not your Mama's Cookies

My friend Missy makes the best cookies ever. EVER. She actually had a cookie company for awhile and has dabbled in buying a storefront, but has been too busy with her family at the moment. No matter how hard I've tried, I can't worm any of her top-secret cookies recipes from her. Her peanut butter cookies with chocolate chunks are honestly one of the most delicious things I've ever put in my mouth. I can't think about them right now or I get teared up since she won't give me the recipe.
I know she can't share her cookie company's recipes, so I asked, "Will you make a new one up for my blog??" Either she likes me or got tired of me asking, but either way, she did it!
Soooooo, for your baking pleasure, I present Missy's newest delicious creation! These are the most moist oatmeal-chocolate-chip cookies I have ever had. I know you'll love them. I especially love her tip about reserving a few chocolate chips top put on top of the cookies before baking (it makes them look extra-packed with choc. chips:)). Enjoy!

Not Your Mama's Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
by Missy Hintze
In a normal blender grind all together:
4 oz. (3/4 C) Whole almonds
8 oz. (about 2 1/3 C) oatmeal
2 oz. (1/4 C) white sugar

In mixer cream:
1 C butter (2 sticks)
12 oz. (1 ½ C) Brown Sugar

Then add:
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
1 t. soda
1 t. salt

To creamed mixture add:
Ground oats and almonds
4 oz. (1 C) white flour
12 oz. Semi-sweet chips
3.5 oz. Milk Chocolate bar chopped

Mix all together.

(Reserve some chocolate to top cookies before baking to beautify)

Drop by Tablespoons or cookie scoop onto parchment lined cookie sheet.
Bake in a convection oven 350* 9 min. or until lightly golden. If you do not have a convection oven, bake at 375* for 10 min.

Because of the high brown sugar content – these cookies would be great frozen and then thawed – they become even more chewy.

Mmm...nothing beats a good chocolate chip cookie. Except maybe eating the dough first.

Guess what! I already baked these this morning! And they are pretty good! I made them for my daughter to take in the snack bucket to preschool along with fresh popped popcorn and orange slices. Mmmmm.

Those look so good! If you are in a mood for chocolate chip cookies try this 1/2 Pound Double Chocolate Chip Cookie. Its the biggest cookie i've ever seen.

I made these a few days ago. Mine are thinner than your picture looks, even after refrigerating the dough overnight, but they are DELICIOUS! We loved them as ice cream sandwiches. Great chewy cookie!

I'm so sad. Mine came out so thin ):

Mandy said...

hmmm...that IS sad! Are you at high altitude like I am? This recipe was made for sea level so if you're at high altitude you may need to adjust . Try reducing the soda to 3/4 tsp, adding another egg and incresing the flour by 1/4 cup.
