Oatmeal Chocolate Chip After School Cookies

Click to Print This Page (top banner and side navigation will not print)

The dough for the cookies can be frozen.  If you're very organized, you could form it into tablespoons and freeze them on a cookie sheet.  When they harden, put them in a freezer bag to store them.  When you want to cook them, just pop them on the sheet.  They may need a couple of extra minutes to cook.  Otherwise, you can just freeze the dough in a storage container or freezer bag.  Let it thaw in the refrigerator before cooking.

1 cup oatmeal
1 3/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 large eggs
3/4 cup chocolate chips
1 cup walnuts or pecans (optional)

In a small bowl, whisk together the oatmeal, pastry flour, baking soda, and salt, and set aside.  Melt the butter.  Meanwhile, measure the brown and granulated sugars into a large bowl.  When the butter has melted, whisk it into the sugars.  Add the vanilla and eggs.  Stir in the flour mixture.  Add the chocolate chips and nuts, if you are using them, and mix them into the dough.

Chill the dough for at least an hour and as long as a few days.  When you are ready to bake the cookies, adjust the oven racks to the upper and lower third of the oven.  Preheat to 375 degrees.  Arrange the cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet by rounded tablespoons, leaving a couple of inches between cookies.  Bake for 9 to 11 minutes until the cookies are golden brown.
