Happy Saturday! Yesterday was Scott's first on-call night at the hospital. All week he has been telling me how wonderful the nurses are, and so I made them some cookies. A few years ago, one of my mom's gave me these cookies for Christmas, and I begged her for the recipe. It took two years, but I finally got it! This is a hybrid (very technical) chocolate chip - oatmeal combo cookie. The trick that makes it extra special is to use chocolate chunks...not chips and toffee bits. These make the cookie extra chewy, melty, delicious.... you get the point. And since nurses are extra-special people, they needed an extra-special cookie.
The nurses enjoyed the cookies, so I may be doing a weekly cookie installment. But for now, here is how you make these.
Tricia's Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients
2 sticks butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups oats
2 cups flour
Directions
Preheat your oven at 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs, mix then add next four ingredients and mix. Add blended oats and flour gradually.
Then mix in any type of chips you want like toffee bits, chocolate chips, chocolate chunks, etc. I used chocolate chunks (whole bag) and half of a bag of toffee bits... delish.
Bake for 9-11 minutes depending on the size of the cookie. I used a tablespoon and baked them for about 9 1/2 minutes.
Happy Weekend!
Though I did not get to sample them, thanks for nurses everywhere for thinking of them!
