Nestle Toll House Choc-Oat-Chip Cookies

 

I LOVE Nestle Toll House cookies! When I make chocolate chip cookies, I only make the 'Original Nestle Toll House' recipe. I think it's the best. Yesterday, I decided to make their chocolate chip oatmeal recipe- They were sooo tasty! 

• 1 3/4 c. flour*
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 1/4 c. packed brown sugar
• 1 c. (2 sticks) butter, softened
• 1/2 c. granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 TB milk
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 c. quick or old fashioned oats
• 2 c. semisweet chocolate chips*
• 1 c. coarsely chopped nuts (optional)

preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine flour, baking soda, & salt in a small bowl. Beat brown sugar, butter, and granulated sugar in mixing bowl until creamy. Beat in eggs, milk, & vanilla. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in oats and chocolate chips. Mix well. Drop by rounded  TB onto ungreased baking sheet. 

Bake 9-10 mins for chewy cookies and 12-13 for crispy. Cool on baking sheets for 1 min; remove to wire racks to cool completely. 

Yields: 48 cookies (4 dozen)

*My variations: I found that this recipe needs more like 2 c. of flour rather than 1 3/4 c. Also, 2 cups of choc. chips is almost too much. Next time, I will put a little bit less. And lastly, I love chewy cookies, and to get them just right in my oven- I cooked them for 8 1/2 mins instead. I guess you'll just have to experiment with your oven to see what time works best!
