Triple Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies~With Recipe

These are exactly what they sound like: oatmeal cookies with three types of chocolate. I used one of my favorite normal chocolate chip cookie recipes (I like the recipe because you don't need an electric mixer) and substituted steel cut oatmeal for some of the flour. Instead of one type of chocolate chip, I used white, milk and dark chocolate chips. And a lot of them.

They were chewy and delicious! Not too oaty, but still noticably an oatmeal cookie. Plus you can't go wrong with three types of chocolate crammed into one cookie!

And because I'm so sweet, here's the recipe:

Ingredients

• 5 oz butter
• 2/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
• 1/2 cup superfine sugar
• Pinch salt
• 2 eggs (cold)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/4 cups oats
• 1/2 cup each white, milk, and dark chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325*F.
2. Melt the butter and set aside to cool a bit.
3. Meanwhile mix the sugars and salt together in a large bowl.
4. Pour the melted butter over the sugar and beat until fully combined and slightly paler.
5. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
6. Add vanilla and mix well.
7. Add flour, baking soda, and baking powder, mixing carefully and slowly until it is nearly combined.
8. Add the oats and mix until fully combined.
9. Add the chocolate chips mix until fully combined.
10. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for at least an hour (if you have the patience, if not bake them now. They'll be fine, but not quite as perfect.)
11. Scoop with an ice cream scoop or a very heaping tablespoon on to a parchment lined baking sheet, leaving at least two inches between each cookie.
12. Bake for 8-12 minutes, depending on your oven, the size of the cookie, and your preference (for chewy or crispy cookies). You'll know they are done when they are golden and just starting to crack on top.
13. Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely (or to a plate to eat).
