Oatmeal cookies

posted by joeli under cookies

It's December and boy does it sure feel it! Dec 1 we woke up to find the temperature was -5C. Now, this would be considered pretty warm when I lived in Boston but here in England it's gosh darn cold! Cold weather needs cookies in my opinion so I got right on it and baked these oatmeal cookies.

I like oatmeal cookies because I can convince myself that they make a good breakfast (it's just porridge, right?). But previous recipes that I've tried have come out tasting like popcorn. I don't know why but my husband and I both think this. This batch were much better, there was only a slight hint of popcorn and we both thought they were by far the best batch of oatmeal cookies I've made.

These cookies are nice and chewy on the inside--just the way I like my cookies. I purposely slightly under cook them for just this reason. The recipe comes from here and I followed it pretty much exactly. I got about 32 cookies (it's hard to keep count when they keep getting eaten straight out of the oven) and baked them for 10 minutes.

Normally I like to say something like "these cookies were good 4 or even 5 days after baking", but unfortunately these cookies were eaten in two days so I can't vouch for how long they'll last. I can say though that I will definitely be making these again.
