A few Saturdays ago we had a busy day of birthday parties and errands, well fun errands, like hanging out in our favorite local bookstore while finding birthday presents, resulting in no time to cook dinner. That combined with the delicious late lunch at the birthday party (my daughter’s friend’s father owns a scrumptious Korean and Japanese restaurant in town –http://www.takatucson.net/ – that catered the party) we decided to take the kids to their favorite Pizza place and let the parents have a light dinner of soup and salad and to focus our efforts on Dessert. Yes that’s right, we plan light dinners so we can have Dessert. It’s all part of a healthy life stye!
We are big chocolate chip cookie fans and have tried what seems like every recipe we can find until Jacob decided to create his own recipe and came up with the greatest Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe ever! Now the good part, since this is his original recipe I can post it!!
The highly recommended way to eat these is straight out of the oven with a cold glass of milk while watching Star Wars (or whatever movie your children are into at the time).
Oh, and one more note: only cook what you want for that night (we have a two cookie limit) and then roll the rest of the dough in long rolls and freeze until next time!
So here it is Mr. Jacob Chinn’s super yummy Chocolate Chip Cookies:
1 Cup Old Fashioned Oats (finely chopped)
2 ½ Cups Flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 Cup Butter (soft)
¾ Cup Sugar
1 Cup Dark Brown Sugar
2 Large Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
12 oz Chocolate Chips (Ghirardelli highly recommended)
