This morning, we made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.   They are delicious and chewy – and completely free of raisins.  Oatmeal cookies are my personal favourite, but I loathe raisins – which makes my cookie enjoyment more difficult.  I just switched out the raisins for chocolate chips in my recipe, and now I’m a happy camper.

Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Wet:

-1/4 cup butter

-1 cup brown sugar

-2 tbsp honey

-1 egg

-1 tsp vanilla

Dry:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 1/2 cups oats

1 cup chocolate chips (or raisins, if you’re a heathen.)

Instructions:

1) Preheat oven to 350

2) Cream together butter and sugar

3) Add remaining “wet” ingredients to butter and sugar. Stir to combine.

4) In separate bowl, mix dry ingredients, less the oats and chocolate chips.

5) Mix wet ingredients in to dry ingredients.

6) Add the oats and chocolate chips, stir to combine.

7)  Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray.  Drop walnut-sized spoonfuls of dough on to cookie sheet, 1-2 inches apart.  Bake for 10-12 minutes, till golden around the edges but still soft in the middle.

Let them cool a little.  Then eat them so hard.
