Multi-Chip Oatmeal Cookies

 Let's stay warm and cozy by the fire today, and have a cookie, with a cup of hot tea.  I'm still using some greenery and pine cones until I put out some Valentine decor.  We had freezing temperatures, and some snow here in Texas!

 My Johnson Brothers Friendly Village is a favorite wintertime teacup.





Yield: 5 dozen or about 36 ice cream scoop size cookies

Multi-Chip Oatmeal Cookies

These cookies are crunchy and crisp on the outside, but chewy on the inside. I form them into balls, put them on parchment paper, slightly smash them, and freeze them. When frozen, I then transfer them to freeze-proof containers or storage bags. When I want a fresh-baked cookies, I bake one on parchment paper...oh, so good!

ingredients:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2/3 cup white chocolate chunks or chips
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup cinnamon chips (peanut butter or butterscotch chips would be good, too)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans or walnuts

instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.   Lightly grease (or line with parchment) four baking sheets, or as many as you have.
  2. Beat together the butter, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
  4. Using a blender or food processor, process the oats with the white chocolate until the oats are finely ground, and the chocolate is mostly ground; a few small chunks are OK.
  5. Add the oats and flour to the butter mixture, then stir in the cinnamon chips, chocolate chips, and chopped walnuts.
  6. Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls, 2" apart, onto the prepared baking sheets. ( I use an ice cream scoop for large cookies).  
  7. Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes, until they're just set.  (The large cookies will take a few extra minutes).  They may be barely starting to brown around the edges. 
  8. Remove the cookies from the oven, and cool.

NOTES:

This is a great way to use up those partial bags of chocolate, cinnamon, white chocolate, butterscotch or peanut butter chips that you may have in your pantry!

  4. YUM on those cookies Kitty! Oh I can taste them I do believe! Well, wishful thinking anyway. Love your tea cup and saucer. I have one just like that that sits in my little room and was given to me by Celeste in one of Stephanie's tea cup exchanges. Love it! Hugs and blessings to you dear friend.

  6. What? I had to reread twice just to let it sink in that you sometimes bake just one cookie! Superb idea. This recipe sounds wonderful.

  7. Snow in Texas!!
    Mom has some snow in Arizona a few weeks ago, it's not her favorite.

    Oatmeal cookies, one of my favourites!
    My dad was an oatmeal cookie lover, maybe that's where I got it from. :-)

    Have a beautiful day~

  12. Oh I love the option to bake off one or two cookies at time Kitty! Your JB Friendly Brothers is perfect for this time of year. I'd love to snuggle up next to the fire with a cup of tea & cookie. We were in the teens this morning....brrr! ♥

  13. Kitty, your wintry teacup is perfect for tea in this weather! And those cookie look healthy and delicious. I think I'd just forget my diet and chow down on them!

  14. This looks like a delicious cookies. I do have a few bags of left over chips so I will be trying. I don’t think I have ever left a comment on your blog. I love opening it each week to see what you are baking with your sweet grandchildren. The recipes are great too!

  15. I love that you freeze them ahead of time, then take them out as you want to bake them. And, I wouldn't have thought to put the various chips into the oatmeal cookies. You always help me see ways to think out of the box, and it is so refreshing! Thank you for your precious blog and for always lifting my spirits when I stop by here. God bless you, sweet friend!

  16. Cookies and tea-a winning combination! Love the variation of the traditional oatmeal cookie recipe. My eyes were immediately drawn to your Brown Betty teapot. To me it's the perfect winter time teapot. I would love to acquire one some day. Stay warm and thanks for sharing!

  17. Great idea to freeze the dough balls, and have on hand when you want a fresh-baked cookie. Your JB Friendly Brothers is perfect for this time of year. We got 16" of snow which reminded me of the "normal" winters we had as children. xo

  18. These are my kind of cookie! Printed and on my list to bake. Thanks for the recipe!

  19. Kitty, I love Friendly Village, one of my favorites. I tried to add a few winter vignettes around and I use my red and white dishes through Valentine's Day for a little color. I sure wish I had one of your cookies to go with my coffee, they look delish. Have a good day.........

  20. A pretty tea by the fire would be a perfect way to spend an hour or two this afternoon when I get home from school. The cookies sound delicious, with all those different chip flavours. Hope you are staying cozy and warm today.

  21. Yikes these look amaaaaazing!! I will be saving this for sure. I’m making your meatloaf for the second time lol! I gave the first one away so this one is to keep and enjoy!!

  22. These sound so good and I love your idea of freezing the unbaked balls of dough to pop in the oven when a cookie 'fix' is needed :) Love your Friendly Village set. The scene is perfect for this time of year. I have 2 sets of Johnson Brothers, the Hearts and Flowers that I wanted when I was a new bride and Fruit Sampler that we inherited from my MIL. Sadly, I hardly use either any more.

  23. These look just fabulous Kitty. And your freezing idea is brilliant. As soon as I get a new black cartridge for my printer (hopefully later today!) I'm printing this one out. Perfect for a cold winter's day. (And I love Friendly Village. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen a Johnson Bros. pattern I don't like!)

  24. Your cookies look really good and would be nice with a cup of tea! Of course I love your FV teacup and the greenery and pinecones look so cozy with it. It's very cold here so I've been sipping lots of tea and coffee. It's a good time to plant oneself in front of a blazing fire and enjoy some reading and tea. Have a beautiful day, dear Kitty. Hugs.

  28. These cookies look so good and I like the idea of baking one cookie, just when you want one! I bet you could do that in a toaster oven! Oh....those Johnson Brothers dishes...♥

  29. Oh Kitty,
    I could write a comment in one word!! YUM! These look and sound delicious. I think oatmeal may be my favorite cookie but these with all those chips, well...sounds divine!!! Even better with tea! Lovely tea cup btw! Hope all is well with you Kitty!

  30. Kitty, that sounds delightful! I love a nice warm cookie and a cup of tea. It's been too long since I've run out of homemade cookie dough in the freezer. Thanks for reminding me to get on that!

  31. Hi Kitty,

    Your vignette in front of the fire looks so cozy -- perfect for this time of the year. I love the "Friendly Village" teacup and saucer. Do you know, Hal even likes that dish pattern, and he rarely notices dishes like I do. I should get a couple of those cups and saucers.

    Your cookie recipe looks delish!! It looks very similar to our favorite cookie recipe, which came from Hal's mom. We've been making them for years, and everyone loves them. One day, I'm going to do a post about them on my blog.

    I hope you're staying warm and cozy on these cold winter days. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe and have a great weekend! :D

    Hugs,

    Denise at Forest Manor
