Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies!



This recipe for Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies is the most coveted recipe of mine ever. EVERYTIME I make these cookies, people who have had them previously, get excited. We even have some friends that know I keep some of this cookie dough in my freezer almost all the time, and they have been known to nicely request to take my reserve stash. They are the sweetest newlyweds ever, so I let them. So, without further ado...


Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
  • 1 stick of butter, softened
  • 1 cup of brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 heaping tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1&1/2 cups uncooked regular rolled oats
  • 1&1/2 mini chocolate chips
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Cream together butter and brown sugar.
3. And egg and vanilla and beat well.
4. Add flours, baking soda, cinnamon and salt and mix well.
5. Add oats and chocolate chips and mix well.
6. Bake for 9 minutes or until the cookies spread a bit and look slightly browned.
7. Allow to set on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
8. Cool on cooling rack.

9. Most important step…devour the whole batch and make more!

Tip: Make a double batch! Bake what you want/need now. Next, take any leftover uncooked dough and scoop it into balls and place on a cookie sheet. Cover the dough and place in the freezer until frozen. Take it out, and place the dough balls into a labeled, dated plastic bag and put it back in the freezer! Then, when you are craving some homemade cookies, bake as many as you like whenever you want without having to start from scratch! This comes in super handy when you have a bake sale/event/recital that you have to take something and your kids forgot to mention it! They are a hit and so easy once you have done this prep! Trust me, and enjoy!

Stranded! September 14: Movies

This month's Stranded Linkup hosted by Shay at Mix & Match Mama and Erika at A Little Bit of Everything is all about Movies!! I don't know about you, but this is a tough one! I love so many movies! I think these three I could watch over and over and over. I think that I have to go with my all-time favorite movie as a child for the first pick. 1st Pick Oh my gosh, you guys! I LOVED this movie SO much when I was little! Hayley Mills is my favorite! This version was the only one in existence when I was young, so I am biased and think this one is MUCH better than the Lindsay Lohan remake. 2nd Pick I mean, who doesn't love Will Ferrell and his crazy antics?! And in a holiday movie!?! We have watched this so many times during Christmastime and every other time of the year! My kids can quote many favorite lines! 3rd Pick I think this one needs to be a newer comedy that my husband and I have watched so many times. I LOVE Paul Rud

Friday Favorites! October 14th

Happy Friday!  We are linking up with  Erika ,  Narci  &  Andrea  for the weekly installment of Friday Favorites! This week my very top favorite is ELECTRICITY! Where I live in Virginia, was affected by Hurricane Matthew. By the time he reached us, he was downgraded to a post-tropical storm or something, but still there was a lot of damage in our area, and people are still dealing with it. We were very lucky. We had no major damage to our home. We did, however, lose power for 40 hours. Yes, I counted!  We were absolutely one of the lucky ones, as we had prepared in advance! And several years ago, we had a generator installed, so we had power to the essentials, like the refrigerator and some lights and a few outlets. Very helpful in keeping all of our devices charged!! My next favorite is celebrating this guy's birthday with his school friends a few days early! We had a video game bus come and park in front of our house. Several of Will's friends came and

Friday Favorites! September 23rd

I've been reading these Friday Favorites posts on my favorite bloggers sites, and this Friday, I decided we should join in! Sara's Favorite #1 and Fall Bucket List Item! Let's kick it off with Fall TV Premiere Week! That is absolutely a favorite! I have been waiting all summer to get some episodes of some of my favorite shows and check out some new ones! I am most excited for Modern Family, Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Middle to begin again. Except The  Middle isn't coming back until October 11th?!? Ugh! The waiting continues! I also was excited to check out some new shows! I watched Kevin Can Wait and The Good Place and This Is Us. Kevin Can Wait makes it on my maybe list. The Good Place was cute! But somehow missing something. I am up for waiting to see how that one turns out. This Is Us is seriously amazing. Not to overstate it, but I was blown away. Please watch this if you can. GREAT show. #FallBucketListMCD Sara's Favorite #2 Clothes for
