Categories     Snack

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2½ cups rolled oats
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter (at room temperature)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
4 ounces milk chocolate (grated or finely chopped)
1½ cups chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line three baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Blend the oats in a food processor or blender to a fine powder. In a medium bowl, whisk together the blended oats with the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture, beating just until incorporated. With a rubber spatula, fold in the chocolate chips, grated chocolate and walnuts.
  • Roll the dough into 2-ounce balls (or about 2 heaping tablespoonfuls worth) and place about 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake one sheet at a time until the edges are set but the center still looks undone, about 10 minutes. Cool the cookies completely on the baking sheets. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days (they can also be frozen for up to 2 months).

MILLION DOLLAR COOKIES

This cookie is to die for very good with a tall glass of milk or cup of coffee. I had these cookies years ago at my families house during a passing away which everyone brought something and I had to have the recipe. I never changed it and it was a comfort food at that time. I make these when I need a warm feeling in my soul.

Bake at 350* The cookie will be slightly brown on bottom and soft to the touch on top which is what you want. Take out and put on wire rack or wax paper. In one batch I got 80 cookies. Or just roll your own.

MILLION DOLLAR COOKIES

Sugar cookie with a delightful blend of flavors and crispy edges. The first time I tasted this cookie I just said "wow". It's my favorite cookie jar cookie and I highly recommended it. If you bake and ship to loved ones, this cookie travels very well even in summer heat. I use bubble wrap between layers and they survive the trip to Iraq.

Time 35m

Yield 24 cookies, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons butter, soft
3/4 cup Crisco, butter flavored
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoons almond flavoring
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Oven 350° for 12-15 minutes until edges are slightly brown.
  • Cream fats and sugars until fluffy.
  • Add egg and beat until absorbed.
  • Add flavorings to creamed mixture.
  • Sift dry ingredients together into separate bowl and blend together.
  • Add dry to creamed mixture and mix just until flour is incorporated; do not over mix.
  • Chill dough.
  • Roll into balls and flatten on cookie sheet with glass bottom dipped in sugar.
  • My addition of some butter allows the fats and sugars to crème to a fluffy consistency superior to Crisco alone. Butter has a small percentage of water that helps build volume and break down the sugars. The use of all butter will result in a softer cookie if this is your preference. This important 1st stage of preparation will make good cookies, blue ribbon winners.
