Notes
- These go well so many delicious things:
- There are 12 Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of these cookies.
- I prefer a crunchier oatmeal cookie, but, if you like a chewier cookie, decrease the cook time to 15 minutes.
- Using room temperature butter makes it easier to cream together with the sugars (especially important if the kiddos are helping you).
- A cookie scoop helps ensure the cookies are the same size so that they all bake evenly.
- They are versatile. Try adding in other mix-ins that you have on hand. Think cinnamon chips, dried fruit, raisins, white chocolate chips, nuts, etc.
- Looking for a richer, nutty flavor? Brown your butter before adding it into the mix.
- Ovens can bake at different temperatures, so check on your oatmeal cookies often to prevent under baking or over baking your dessert.
- Raspberry Lemonade.
- Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate.
- Instant Pot Iced Tea.
