I can't believe how many different cookie recipes there really are out there.
This one is from my sister....
and it has almost everything from your pantry in it!
It's a fun little cookie with a different kind of taste!
Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Bars

The first recipe I am going to share from my
'neighbor gifts'
is the Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Bars.

I liked having it be a "bar" rather than a "cookie."
I figured it would make a lot more, and I could cut them into smaller pieces.
They really did turn out good.
When I make them again, however,
I won't add as many chocolate chunks as I did.
Don't get me wrong, I like chocolate chunks,
I just think there were too many in this recipe.
Let me also tell you, that the original recipe is for a 9 x 13 pan.
So, I did double the recipe...hense doubling the chocolate chunks.
Give it a try, and tell me what you think!



Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Bars

I'm going to give you the doubled recipe...
remember to cook it in a 11x17 bar pan!

3 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups oatmeal (i used regular, not instant)
1 1/2 cups butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chunks (this is NOT doubled!)
1 cup chopped nuts (if desired, which I didn't!)

Preheat oven to 375*

In a seperate bowl, combine all dry ingredients and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, sugars, egg and vanilla until fluffy.
Add dry ingredients slowly until well incorporated.
Add chocolate and nuts.

Pour onto a greased pan.
I *technially* didn't pour them, because they were way to THICK to pour.
So, I guess it would be....DUMP the mixture onto a greased pan.
PRESS into pan.

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes.

Mine were just a little dry...so make sure you don't overbake them.

Also, I wonder if that has anything to do with the kind of oatmeal I used?
HMMMM....?

They were still really, REALLY good.

Would I post the recipe if they weren't?

OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHUNK BARS

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Just a few more cookie recipes.
Then we can move on to some other yummy treats!
My friend at work was BEGGING me to make these,
and if you believe it or not,
I actually do not remember if I have ever tried these cookies or not.
But they were SO good.
If you haven't had them before,
or haven't tried this recipe,
I suggest you do.
They were moist and so good...

OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

2 cups butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 1/2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
2 tbsp. hot water
3 cups flour
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. vanilla
5 cups quick oats
1/2 cup nuts (I used pecans)
1 large package chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375*

This recipe makes 10 dozen...so if you want to half it, go for it.
That's what I did, although, I probably could have eaten ALL of the cookies.

Cream together the butter, sugars, and egg.
Add the other liquid ingredients.
Combine the flour and salt and slowly add to mixture.
Add the quick oats.
Add the nuts, if desired and chocolate chips.

Using a scoop, place on a cookie sheet.

Bake in the oven for 8 minutes.

I love the recipes that are easy to follow.

These last couple of ones were really easy.

I really couldn't believe how moist these cookies were.

Let me know what you think!

Monster Cookies

Don't be scared.

Don't run away.

You MUST try these.

MONSTER COOKIES

This recipe is amazing.

It is amazing in it's size.

The recipe I am going to give you is only HALF.

Can you imagine making the FULL recipe?

It would probably make 12 dozen cookies!

AND...

they are good!

MONSTER COOKIES

2 sticks margarine, softened

1 1/2 lbs peanut butter

1 lb brown sugar

2 cups white sugar

6 eggs

1/2 tbsp. vanilla

1/2 tbsp. corn syrup

4 tsp. baking soda

9 cups quick oatmeal

1/2 lb chocolate chips

1/2 lb plain m&m's

Preheat oven to 350*

In a large mixer, cream together margarine and peanut butter.

Add the two sugars.

While still mixing, add eggs, corn syrup and vanilla.

Add baking soda, making sure it distributes through mixture.

Gradually add in oatmeal.

At this point, the mixture is going to get tough, and thick.

You will need to mix in chocolate chips and m&m's with a spoon.

Probably a good strong heavy wooden spoon.

(Can you imagine if you were doing the FULL recipe?)

Using a large scoop, and on an UNGREASED cookie sheet,

place 6 cookies. Make sure you leave room, because they will

GROW!

Bake for 12 minutes.

Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before

moving them to a cooling rack.

These cookies really are fun to make.

My friend Stephanie's kids LOVE these cookies.

She will refridgerate the dough and cook them

so her kids have WARM cookies!

She is such a fun mom!

She said they will keep in the fridge for about

2 weeks.

Thanks for having me over and making them for me Steph!
