Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies








Nothing beats a classic Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookie. I've tried a lot of different recipes, but nothing compares to this one. 

Ingredients
1/2 cup (1 stick) plus 6 tbsp butter, softened
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3 cups Old Fashioned Quaker Oats
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. 
2. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugars on medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. 
3. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. 
4. Add combined flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; mix well. 
5. Add oats and chocolate chips; mix well.
6. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheets.
7. Bake until golden brown and cool one minute on cookie sheets. Then, transfer to a wire rack.

Now, pour yourself a glass of milk and enjoy!

TOMS Ticket To Give

I am in the running to win a trip to go on a shoe drop with TOMS. Many of you know what TOMS is, but if you don't, it is a company that donates a pair of shoes to someone in need when you buy a pair for yourself. How amazing is that? The company goes on a "shoe drop" to physically give a pair of shoes to someone in need in Africa and South America. I would be traveling with TOMS to assist them in doing so. This is an amazing opportunity to give back to those who are less fortunate than myself, but I need your help in order to make this happen. If you have ever felt like you were meant to do something, then you will understand how much this means to me. TOMS is taking 50 people with the highest number of votes, so please click on the link below to vote for me and share it with your family and friends. I would really appreciate it!!
