Triple Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
Decadent chocolate chips include oatmeal adding a delicious chewy texture.
Ingredients
- 2 sticks of Butter softened
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla
- 4 ounces Unsweetened Chocolate squares melted and cooled
- 2 1/2 cups Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Instant Coffee Crystals
- 1 1/2 cups Old Fashioned Oatmeal
- 2 cups Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a double boiler melt chocolate squares and allow to cool for 5 minutes. (If you want chocolate to cool faster stir to whip air into chocolate.)
- Cream together butter and sugars until smooth and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time beat until each is incorporated. Add Vanilla. Slowly add in cooled chocolate. Beat into butter mixture, be sure to scrape the bowl at least once.
- Measure out flour add in baking soda, salt, cinnamon, coco powder and combine. Gradually add flour mixture to chocolate butter mixture. Once all flour is added sprinkle in coffee crystals and beat until combined. Next add oatmeal and chocolate chips.
- Drop tablespoon sized balls of dough on to parchment lined baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes, no more no less. Even if the cookies do not appear to be done take them out of the oven and remove them from the baking sheet to a cooling rack or cool surface.
Notes
Minty Version: Cut vanilla down to 1 teaspoon, leave out the cinnamon, and add in 1/4 teaspoon Lorann Peppermint Oil (the kind you use to make rock candy), or 1/2 teaspoon McCormick Mint Extract. This makes these cookies taste like Andes Mints. Wunderlicious!!
