Weekend Recipe

I've baked and cooked several delicious things this week.  It was difficult to choose just one for my Saturday Recipe Post.  But here it is, by popular demand:

THE BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES YOU WILL EVER PUT IN YOUR MOUTH!

(honestly, you'll be amazed)

Ingredients:

3/4 cup rolled oats
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup canola oil
1/3 cup granulated white sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350*.

Grind oats in a food processor.  Don't skip this step.  It's magic.
In a medium bowl, stir together ground oats, flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
Beat butter with electric mixer until fluffy.  Add oil, sugars, egg and vanilla and beat until smooth and creamy.  Slowly and carefully add the dry ingredients one heaping tablespoon at a time.  Beat on low speed until just combined.  Add chips.

Drop the dough onto baking sheets.  Bake 12 - 15 minutes  Cool and EAT!

Honestly.  I was amazed with the flavor.

This recipe made about 2 dozen cookies.

Glad to be back with a working keyboard.  Enjoy your weekend.
