Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

Well hello hello everyone! I know my blogging has been terribly out of whack and I do apologize.. the amount of responsibilities I have taken on this semester at school is a little ridiculous, but so far I love every minute of it. My roommate and I decided to have a little girls afternoon after realizing how much we miss baking and just doing absolutely nothing. These cookies allow us to break neither one of us dietary restrictions since she is gluten-free and I am vegetarian. These cookies are just a product of that - although we only made enough for us to enjoy (about 6).. you can easily bump up the recipe for you to feed several more people! This warm, gooey cookie is just what you need after a stressful week of classes, exams, and people. The recipe is as follows:

3/4 cup rolled oats
2 tablespoons of melted butter
3 tablespoons room temperature milk
2 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
a handful of chocolate chips











Since we had rolled oats, we thought it might be easier to throw the sugar and oats in a blender and get them to a more powdery state. After that we just slowly added the melted butter and milk, just to make sure the mix wasn't too wet. Preheat the oven to 350F and make sure you grease your pan! The cookies were SUPER quick and only took about 6-7 minutes to be crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside (aka peerrfeccttt!!)



make sure you space them apart, no one wants conjoined cookies!
