Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies-using all brown sugar and a touch of cinnamon creates a tasty cookie!
Do you ever get up in the morning and know you’ll want cookies? You get the butter out of the fridge but have now idea what you’ll be making. You just know that every good cookie starts with softened butter.
Then after a few cups of coffee, a load of laundry and some surfing on facebook, you decide it’s time.
You start rummaging through the cabinets. Looking for something to catch your eye, or your appetite. The oatmeal grabbed my attention (by falling out of the cabinet!).
And chocolate chips are almost a given in anything baked in my kitchen. I might currently have 3 huge bags of semi sweet chocolate chips in my pantry, just in case there’s ever a shortage at the stores.
You pull out the sugar and the flour, then you look at flavor options. I probably have every flavor extract ever made. But I just wasn’t feeling it. And then I saw the cinnamon. Just sitting there in front of all the other spices. And I knew. That little hint of cinnamon was just what my oatmeal cookies needed.
