Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Created With: Baking Mix - Oat Bran (Wheat Free)

"Just had to say thank you for the awesome cookie recipe!  I made the Chocolate Chip Multigrain Cookies but I used the Southaven Farm Oat Bran Baking Mix instead.  Same directions - they were AWESOME!  It was hard not to eat them all.  Thank you for a great product and excellent customer service!"

Note from the Kitchen of Southaven Farm:  KM is right, the chocolate chip cookie recipe works beautifully with our Oat Bran Baking Mix.  We also added some rolled oats to one of our batches and that really put these amazing cookies right over the top!

For ease of preparation, here is the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe:

INGREDIENTS:
3 tablespoons softened butter OR
2 tablespoons softened butter combined with 1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 cup Splenda Sugar Blend (this is half sugar, half Splenda)
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 package (145 grams on a kitchen scale) Southaven Farm Oat Bran Baking Mix
1/4 cup rolled oats (old fashioned oatmeal, uncooked), optional
1/4 cup miniature chocolate chips

In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter (or butter and canola oil) and Splenda Sugar Blend on low speed until creamy.  Add egg and vanilla and continue beating on low speed until well combined.  Add 1/3 package Southaven Farm Oat Bran Baking Mix and beat on low speed until everything comes together and forms a stiff dough.  Blend in rolled oats, if using.  Stir in miniature chocolate chips.

Using about one tablespoon, make walnut-sized balls.  Place on parchment-lined baking sheets.  Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes, rotating baking sheets from top to bottom/front to back after 4 minutes.  Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes and then remove to baking rack.
