Pure Vanilla by Shauna Sever

If you are a big fan of vanilla you should check this book out.  She has cake, cookie, pie, drink, and many more recipes to choose from.  I decided on trying the Salted Vanilla Chip Oatmeal Cookies on page 89.  I skipped the salt and I used white chocolate chips instead of chunk chocolate but they turned out so good. 

Salted Vanilla Chip Oatmeal Cookies

3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 TBS pure vanilla extract
2/3 cup dark brown sugar, packed (I used light)
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
8 ounces white chocolate, chopped (I used chocolate chips)
2 TBS Vanilla Fleur de Sel, (page 90) for sprinkling (I didn't use)

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees

In a large bowl whisk together the oats, flour, baking soda, and salt.  In a bowl beat together the butter and vanilla until creamy.  Add in the sugars and beat until fluffy.  Beat in eggs one at a time.  Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add oat mixture, then white chocolate.

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.  Scoop batter, 2 tablespoons at a time, onto prepared baking sheets, about 8 cookies to a sheet.  Sprinkle with salt if using.  Bake cookies until golden brown around the edges but still soft in the centers, 12 to 14 minutes.  Let cookies cool on sheets for 2 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
