Making cookies, especially Christmas Cookies is a big deal. Here in my family as the holidays roll closer, the anticipation grows. I am a blogger and I blog about all kinds of things but, I really love talking about food.
My wife who is an experimenter when it comes to her creations has come up with some amazing cookies. For lack of a better description I have called them The Best Oatmeal Coconut Chocolate Christmas Cookies.
The cookies were so good that I had her make a video (see below) about how she made them. She was not crazy about doing the video but we felt it necessary. She will take a recipe and tweak it to make it her own and every time she does it is better than the original.
I hope you enjoy the video and the recipe. Let us know how it works out for you.
So here is the recipe for the OCC Christmas Cookies:
1 1/2 c butter, softened
1 1/4 c sugar
1 1/4 c brown sugar
1 Tbsp vanilla
2 eggs
4 c flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
24 oz choc chips (or whatever you like in your cookies. It can be alternated to suit you.)( I chose to divide it up between choc candies, oatmeal and coconut )
Heat oven to 350 F. In a large bowl, beat butter, sugars, vanilla and eggs until light and fluffy. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt ( dough will be stiff ) . Stir in choc chips or extras of your choosing.
Drop dough by tablespoonfuls. Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until light brown ( centers will be soft ). Cool 1 to 2 minutes. Roughly 6 dozen cookies. Enjoy!
Cooking, Baking and blending flavors is an art some have it naturally and some have to work at it. But no matter which you are it is always fun to try new things. I hope you enjoyed the post and let us know if you try out the cookies.
