My favorite cookies to make are the Choc-Oat Chip cookies found in a recipe book given to me as a wedding gift. Not only do I like them, but Mark likes them too. I thought I would share the recipe and how many carbs per cookie I have come to estimate. I have also tailored the recipe for Mark and I so it comes out to be about 12-15 cookies.
1/4 cup of butter
1/3 cup of brown sugar
2 Tbs of white sugar
1 egg
1 Tbs of milk
1 t of vanilla
1/2 cup of flour
1/2 t of baking soda
1/2 t of salt
1/2 cup of oats
1/2 cup of chocolate chips
I have found that the oven should be between 375 and 350 degrees F. Like most cookies beat the butter, sugars, eggs, milk, and vanilla together until creamy. Then add the flour, baking soda, and salt. After those are mixed really well I then add the oats and chocolate chips. I scoop the dough onto a cookie sheet with my Pampered Chef medium scooper (it helps make each cookie the same shape and size). The recipe says to put the cookies on a greased pan, but I never do. I like chewy cookies so I only bake up to 10 minutes or at least until the cookies get a little brown on the tops. Remove the cookies from the pan immediately and set them out to cool.
I like these cookies because they are so delicious warm, and excellent with milk when they are cooled. I have found that if you make this exactly and get about 12 cookies out of it then each cookie is about 20-25 carbs. You do have to watch how many chocolate chips you have in the cookie you choose to eat. ; ) I always give Mark the last cookie with the least amount of chocolate chips, because I won’t eat it. He says he likes big cookies.
