September 7, 2007: Route Trip Cookies

Team Cookie yesteryear a teammate of basketballin' Brilynn from choc-chip cookie recipe, both inwards the ingredient listing as well as the quantities: the major differences are that chopped almonds are replaced yesteryear crunchy peanut butter, as well as the rolled oats stay whole (instead of beingness soil to a powder). I was looking frontwards to that peanut butter sense of savor as well as chew, but it was a much milder component than I expected - I mightiness experiment alongside increasing it (even reducing the butter) side yesteryear side time. I was to a greater extent than skeptical most the whole oats, but they did lend an agreeable chew; I'm undecided whether I prefer them pulverised or not. I likewise cooked these a piddling longer than I should bring - none of them burned, but they were all really crunchy from the 2d they were cool.

Regardless, these were really pop all round. We polished off a lunchbox total of them on our weekend, as well as when nosotros met upwards alongside Beth as well as Ryan (more nutrient fun alongside them coming up!), I filled a noodle-style gift box alongside them for their ain impending route trip along the Great Ocean Road to Adelaide. My workmates happily demolished roughly other entire lunchbox-full for afternoon tea a few days later. Can you lot believe that all the same left roughly other dozen for Michael as well as I, dorsum at home?

Road trip cookies

1 loving cup peanut butter (gotta endure crunchy, surely!)
1 loving cup butter, softened
1 loving cup castor sugar
1 loving cup brownish sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups oats
2 cups evidently flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
250g bundle nighttime chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.

Beat together the peanut butter as well as butter, thence add together the sugars as well as proceed beating until fluffy. Beat inwards the eggs i at a time, as well as thence the vanilla.

Sift the flour as well as baking soda, stir inwards the oats, as well as thence stir these dry out ingredients into the sweetness butter mixture. Finally stir inwards the chocolate chips.

Brilynn suggests that if the dough is actually mucilaginous you lot tin add together to a greater extent than flour here. My mixture was quite mucilaginous but I powered on without whatever to a greater extent than filler! Use 2 teaspoons to drib the dough onto an ungreased baking tray. The front end cookie pictured to a higher identify was done similar this - the neater, rounder i behind came from gently rolling the dough inwards my hands.

Bake for 10 minutes until lightly browned. I'll echo Brilynn's emphasis on non overcooking these: inwards fact, I mightiness alone bake mine for 8-10 minutes side yesteryear side fourth dimension for a chewier cookie.
