HAPPY DECEMBER!!!

LJ: Good morning, Marguerite!
M: Morning!!!! Hit me!
LJ: You asked for it... Here's 104 pages of fic for you to print out, and that's only from one of the four fests you will be following this month. Check back in an hour.
M: *pets printer* Be good to me, honey. I've got more ink coming.

While my printer chugs along... recipes! They begin! I'm kinda posting in the order in which the recipes are easily available to me. (ie:no other at all). Some of your requests will be fulfilled in ways that you have to squint to see how your request matches the recipe, but lots of requests were similar (quite a few requests for vegetarian dishes and vegetable side dishes). If you don't like the recipe i posted for you, I hope you will like one of the recipes posted throughout the month. If haven't yet - feel free to add a request here. :D

This first recipe was the easiest. [livejournal.com profile] melusinahp requested my favourite cookie recipe. Happy baking!

These cookies (when not over-cooked) are a perfect combination of chewy and crunchy. And the oatmeal gives a nice hardy feel to them, while the chocolate is pure decadence.


Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs

1 cup flour
2 cup oatmeal
½ tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda

2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet – good quality*)
1 tsp vanilla extract (or essence - which is the artificial 'extract')

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. (hint: room temperature eggs, added one at a time will incorporate into butter much easier)
In separate bowl mix all dry ingredients. Gradually stir in dry ingredients to butter mixture.

When blended stir in chocolate chips.

Roll into balls and place on cookie sheet (or baking sheet) 2 inches apart.

10 minutes at 375 F, makes 50 cookies.

*I like The Decadent chocolate chips and this recipe is a modified version from that package).




A note on parchment paper. I use parchment paper on all my cookie sheet/baking sheets. It a fabulous for everything from cookies to chicken wings. Saves on the clean up, and it stops from ruining your food by losing half of it to sticking/burning. I use the disposable parchment that you can buy next to the plastic wraps/aluminum foil stuff. yes, bad for the environment - good for the food.


Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand!!! Happy birthday [livejournal.com profile] sesheta_66
