CHOCOLATE ALMOND OATMEAL COOKIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• Place the room temperature butter, egg, almond extract, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Using a whisk, mash and stir the ingredients together until combined. Set the bowl aside for a bit.
• In a separate bowl, add the oatmeal, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt and whisk them together. If a little one is helping you with this step, let them know to whisk slowly. Otherwise, you'll have cocoa powder everywhere. Yes, it's happened to me more than once. lol!
• Add the oat and flour mixture to the butter mixture. Using a wooden spoon, stir all ingredients together until all the oat and flour is mixed into the butter mixture. *A wooden spoon is strong and easier to use when making cookie dough.
• Using an ice cream scoop or a spoon, scoop out the cookie dough and drop the balls on the cookie sheet. Leave only a little space between the cookies. This dough will not melt and flatten like other cookie dough, so, if you scoop out the dough it will bake as balls. You can also press the balls flat for a traditional cookie shape or roll the dough out and cut out shapes with cookie cutters. It's all up to you.
• Bake for 11-13 minutes, depending on your oven's temperature and how soft you want the inside. If you want a little softer inside, bake for 11 minutes. Either way, the outside is still crisp. Enjoy!

SOFT CHOCOLATE-ALMOND OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees, line three cookie sheets with parchment or nonstick baking liners.
• In a medium bowl, combine the oats, flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
• In another large bowl combine the brown sugar and butter, beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla and almond extracts and beat until well combined.
• Pour in half of the dry ingredients and mix on low speed just until blended. Add the milk and mix until just blended. Pour in the remaining flour mixture and mix until just blended. Add the nuts and mix briefly to combine.
• Shape the dough unto 1.5 in balls. Arrange the mounds on the cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart. Lightly dampen your fingertips and slightly flatten each mound, so they're about .5 inches thick.
• Bake one sheet at a time on the middle rack until the cookies are puffed and still moist-looking on top, about 11 minutes.
