Mary Ellen\u2019s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies<\/strong><\/p>\n

Modified from a recipe found on PreppyKitchen.com.<\/p>\n

Makes 2 dozen.<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00bc cup whole wheat flour<\/p>\n

\u00be cup all-purpose flour<\/p>\n

\u00bd tsp baking soda<\/p>\n

\u00bd tsp salt<\/p>\n

\u00bd cup unsalted butter, room temperature<\/p>\n

1\/3 cup granulated sugar<\/p>\n

2\/3 cup light brown sugar, packed<\/p>\n

2 tsp pure vanilla extract<\/p>\n

1 large egg<\/p>\n

1 \u00bd cups rolled oats (I use Quick Cook oats)<\/p>\n

1 cup Ghirardelli bittersweet chocolate chips<\/p>\n

Instructions:<\/em><\/p>\n

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Set aside.<\/p>\n

In a food processor or with a mixer, combine the butter with both sugars. Beat or process until light and fluffy.<\/p>\n

Reduce speed to low. Add the salt, vanilla and egg. Beat until well mixed, about 1 minute.<\/p>\n

Add flour mixture. Mix until almost combined.<\/p>\n

If using a food processor, add the oats and pulse until combined. Return to medium bowl and mix in the chocolate chips.<\/p>\n

If using a mixer, mix the chocolate chips in by hand.<\/p>\n

If dough is too soft, chill for about \u00bd hour in the fridge.<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.<\/p>\n

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.<\/p>\n

Use a 2 Tablespoon cookie scooper to drop heaping tablespoon-size balls of dough about 2 inches apart.<\/p>\n

Flatten each ball of dough slightly.<\/p>\n

Bake until cookies are golden around the edges, but still soft in the center. Depending on your oven, that could be anywhere from 8 to 12 minutes.<\/p>\n

Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet 1-2 minutes. Transfer to wire rack and let cool completely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
