OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

My oldest loves it when I make oatmeal raisin cookies like Grandma used to make. But sometimes I like to switch things up and add chocolate chips instead of raisins, making the most scrumptious oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

These cookies are a little bit soft, a little bit chewy. And they’re made with simple ingredients like buttermilk (I’ll show you how to make your own), brown sugar, and old fashioned oats.

I love baking cookies because they’re such an easy dessert to make. Some of my favorites are chocolate chip cookies and chewy peanut butter cookies.

Let’s bake a yummy batch of oatmeal cookies right now, though. Are you ready?

My mom taught me this little trick for making buttermilk (or souring milk) back when I was a budding baker in our old farmhouse kitchen.

Just add about a tablespoon of distilled white vinegar to a cup of milk. I usually use a tablespoon for every cup of milk.

To make sure I have the right amount of liquid, I’ll pour my vinegar into the measuring cup first; then add the milk to my desired level or measurement.

Stir it and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes.

And that’s it! Before you know it, your milk will be perfectly soured just like buttermilk.

Now if you’re using less milk, just use less vinegar. With this recipe, I’m using 1/4 cup milk, so I’ll add about 1/2 tablespoon of vinegar to the milk to sour it.

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup pure cane sugar
