So I was making cookies and thought I would tweak the recipe for something a little different.
This is not always advisable as it can produce inedible cookies. On this particular occasion it worked beautifully and I have yet to name the cookie, so for now they are just:
The Bestest Cookies Ever
Makes about 4 dozen (so you can eat some and still have a decent amount to share :)
1 c. butter
1c. brown sugar
1c. white sugar
1/4 c. flax seed
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 c. flour
2 1/2 c. oatmeal
3/4 c. white chocolate chips
3/4 c. chocolate chips
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add flax seed. Blend in eggs one at a time. Now you have a choice. You can sift together flour, salt, soda, and pumpkin pie spice and add the mix to the blended wet ingredients; or you can carefully add the spice, salt, and soda so that they don't clump and add the flour once these are blended in completely. Add the oatmeal. Stir in the white and chocolate chips.
Drop by tablespoon onto prepared cookie sheets or baking stone. Bake at 350F 10-12 minutes until they have begun to deflate. (Mine puff up and then deflate around minute 11) Don't overbake them! Err on the side of undone. Let them cool for 4 minutes or so on the baking sheet. Finish cooling on a wire rack.
What results is a lightly spiced cookie with a tender top and crispy bottom (flax seeds help with this).
Store in a tightly sealed container as long as you possibly can...they may not last long!
