Since I’ve stocked up on Nestle Chocolate Chips over the past few weeks at Albertsons, I’ve decided to put them to a good use today to make my Best Ever Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies.
Here in Colorado we usually have to adjust recipes for altitude, but I’ve managed to throw enough yummy ingredients in these cookies that they stay super soft and fluffy even without the added flour. 😉 Here is the recipe:
Ingredients
1 Cup Softened Butter
1/2 Cup White Sugar
1 Cup Packed Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1-1/4 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1 Tbsp Flax Seed (optional)
3 Cups Old Fashioned or Quick Cook Oats
1-1/2 Cups Semisweet Chocolate Chips
1 Cup Chopped Walnuts
Instructions
1. Pre-heat oven to 325 Degrees.
2. Cream butter, white sugar and brown sugar.
3. Add eggs, one at a time.
4. Add Vanilla Extract
5. In a separate bowl, combine Flour, Salt, Baking Soda and Flax Seed.
6. Slowly combine dry ingredients into wet ingredients until well mixed.
7. Incorporate oats, chocolate chips and walnuts into the micture.
8. Scoop dough onto greased cookie sheet and bake for 12 minutes.
9. Cool on sheet for 5 minutes.
10. Remove and enjoy!

I use a similar recipe, but it includes a cup of Rice Krispies instead of one of the cups of oats! Those cookies have a lighter texture but are still soft.

Thank you so much for the recipe. Do you have any others that work here in Colorado? Since moving to Fort Collins, I haven’t made any cookies, because I’m not sure what to do and didn’t want to waste money on doing it wrong!

Debbie … the Nestles chip bag has high altitude destructions for Toll House cookies. err, instructions. My first attempt was total destruction. Can you say … mini hockey pucks?
I’ll admit it’s been ages since I’ve made a batch so I’m not sure if the package still does. I tend to eat all the dough before it gets to the oven so I don’t make them 🙂

Debbie – the Colorado State University Extension Service provides a handy reference. This is a link to a long version. I have a short one from the Denver Post that I cut out and taped inside a cupboard door.
