Food Corner: Triple chocolate oatmeal cookies

Chocolate chip cookies are a classic, and these triple chocolate oatmeal cookies take it to the next level. Enjoy in the form of dough, freshly baked out of the oven, or with a tall glass of milk. These cookies won’t disappoint.

Though rolling cookie dough into balls is a good way to make cookies, using an ice cream scooper is even better. The scooper saves time, keeps your hands clean and allows for a great cookie shape. (Lisa Kocay, B&W photo)

Ingredients:

• 2 cups butter
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 cups brown sugar
• 4 eggs
• 4 cups flour
• 5 cups of oatmeal — put in a food processor and process until it is a coarse powder
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 12 oz white chocolate chips
• 12 oz chocolate chunks
• 12 oz semisweet chocolate chips or 6 oz semisweet chocolate chip and 6 oz dark chocolate chips

Directions:

1. To start, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. From there, cream the butter and both sugars, and beat for about 3 minutes, making sure the ingredients are well creamed together. Then, add the eggs and vanilla. Add the oatmeal before adding the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda, in that order. Lastly, add the chips.
3. Use a small or medium ice cream scoop, or roll the dough into balls. Place the cookie dough two inches apart on a cookie sheet.
4. Bake for 8 — 12 minutes, depending on the size of the cookies. Bake until golden brown.
