I modified the recipe slightly, but tried to keep with the original as much as I could. Here's a reprint of the recipe, with my modifications.
In my version, I left out the pecans, and replaced the candy bar with extra chocolate chips (I ended up adding about an extra ½ cup). I also made a huge mistake - I left out the salt. The cookies were delicious anyway, which means they'll be even better next time I make them (when I can add salt). I'm glad about this, but I do feel a little silly for having left the salt out (I remember reading and rereading my printed out recipe, thinking - and saying - "It's so weird there's no salt in these!" I guess that's a recipe reading fail on my part.)Delicious Chocolate Chip Cookies
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2½ cups uncooked regular oats
- 1½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 4 ounces milk chocolate candy bar, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- Beat butter at medium speed in a heavy-duty mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugars and beat well. Add eggs and vanilla, beating well.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to butter mixture and beat well.
- Process oats in a food processor until finely ground. Add to butter mixture and beat well. Stir in chocolates and pecans.
- Drop cookies by tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool slightly on baking sheets. Then, remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Regardless, these were some delicious cookies. I hope to make them again.
