There's nothing quite like a new spin on an old classic.
This is the oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe my mom has been making since I was teeny tiny. They made their debut on our table after appearing in my preschool cookbook, a collection of recipes from each family. That we've been making them for the last 23+ years really speaks to how easy and tasty they are.
We decided to spice up the recipe with a chocolate chip trio -- white, dark, and milk chocolate -- and ended up with an even more decadent cookie that tastes a little more modern than the traditional variety.
Triple Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
recipe from my mama
Ingredients:
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar (I use Rogers
‘Best Brown Sugar’)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 1/3 cups rolled oats (quick oats)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt (I use no more than 1/2 teaspoon)
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Cream the butter and brown sugar, then beat
in the eggs and vanilla. Add
flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Add and mix in the chocolate chips.

min.
(I used a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop and
bake for about 13 min.)
