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
Printer Friendly Version
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.
