Oatmeal cookies and a cookie fest
November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ ConnieIngredients :
1-1/4 c. of butter or margarine
3/4 c. firmly-packed brown sugar
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1-1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon powder
1 tsp. nutmeg powder
3 c. instant oats
1-1/2 c. of chocolate candies (Nips, M&M’s or even chocolate morsels)
Baking procedure:
Preheat the oven to 170oC.
Stir together the flour, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Beat the butter or margarine, brown sugar and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and continue beating until well incorporated. Add the flour mixture and mix until well blended. Stir in the oats. Lastly, stir in the chocolate candies.
Take a tablespoonful of the mixture and use another spoon to push it onto an ungreased cookie sheet (I lined the cookie sheets with baking paper so I won’t have to wash them hehehe). Bake for 10 minutes. Cool and store in airtight containers.

Hmmm… mukhang store-bought yata yung ibang cookies.
Sana everybody brought homemade cookies like you did!
Yah, most were store-bought. You won’t believe it but 50% of the cookies there were either Chips Ahoy or Keeblers.
For some reason, when the girls bake oatmeal cookies, they want them large and flat. I like mine the way you baked it.
wow looks amazing! Did you chill the scooped dough before baking? How about the texture of these babies? are they chewy? cakey? crunchy?
noemi, perhaps that’s because they like them crisp? i like mine chewy.
fawn. they’re chewy. another minute in the oven and they would be crisp.
chewy oatmeal cookies is the way to go.the girls must have bragged about their mom’s great cookies
oatmeal cookies+ a glass of cold coke+ chocolate bars= nirvana! I wish i have an oven, i want to make this too! well i guess, i’ll just dream about this.
i spot some keebler soft batch cookies there!
mmm…soft batch…
hi,
Pareho pala ng school kids natin…
we were there too.. grabe nakakasawang kumain ng cookies.. it really is a cookie festival..
(with free show by Eddie K.) hehehhee
LOL Lemon, I was happy enough that kids were eating oatmeal cookies NOT knowing what they were.
paupau, the school memo said there would be milk available but we couldn’t locate the milk heheheh
sarah, ang daming keebler!
sheila? “Pareho pala ng school kids natin”
talaga? next school affair nga, mag-meet tayo ng personal hehehe i’ll e-mail you.
sure, sure..
Hi Connie,
Baking biscuits for your kids to take to school is a humbling feeling.Your kids must be very proud of their mum who cares a lot.
I’ve got a nearly 4 years old girl and she loves mucking around with me in kitchen.Sometimes she tells me what she wanted me to bake and the two of us having a good time in kitchen.my daughter would licked the spoons afterwards and says taste good mummy.
I bet your girls loves mucking around with you in the kitchen as well!
Oh yes, they do Gena. And they’re getting pretty good at creating dishes themselves. I’ve even created a separate category on this blog for their creations.
And the spoon licking that your daughter does… oh yes they do that. When they were a little younger, they would even fight over the bowl where the brownie had been mixed.
I love reading about food almost as much as I enjoy eating it. The cookies look delicious. Salamat. Take care.
