This is my favorite recipe and if you have a better one, please tell. Not to be a complete snob, I just haven't tasted better.
1 cup unsalted butter (please, if you really want to bake, you must use unsalted)
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
Cream well. And I mean well. I use my kitchenaid. If you must beat it by hand, leave the butter out for 15 minutes. Please don't nuke it!
Add:
1 tsp vanilla (the real stuff, por favor)
2 eggs (one at a time, at room temperature is ideal. You can warm them up quicker by cracking them open into a bowl first.)
In a separate bowl whisk together:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet, making sure to incorporate well, but not overmixing.
Add:
2 1/2 cups quick oats (or 2 1/2 cups rolled oats that have been put through the blender)
Mix well.
Add:
1 1/2 cups roasted pecans
1 to 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
2 cups of chocolate chips (I like a mixture of white, milk, and semi-sweet)
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven on a silicon lined baking sheet for 10-14 minutes (depending on size of cookies)
Makes about 3 1/2 dozen medium large size cookies.
If I'm feeling mean, I just put raisins in the recipe and use 1/3 cup less of each sugar
This recipe is a twist on the urban legend Mrs. Field's cookie recipe (I paid $100 dollars for it, so I'm sharing it with everyone legend).
YES. They are totally evil and I'm going to go eat one right NOW! Whoohoo!
ReplyDeletei made these for our roadtrip and they turned out GREAT (despite the kids' begging me not to put in the craisins....)
