Ingredients you'll need:
Flour
Salt
Baking Soda
Brown Sugar
Granulated Sugar
Butter or margarine - 2 cups/4 sticks
vanilla extract
Eggs - 4
12 oz pkg choc. chips
Chopped walnuts (optional) - 2 cups
Cinnamon
Quick Cooking Oats
4 mixing bowls - 2 large, 2 medium
Measuring Cup(s)
Measuring Spoons
Elec Mixer
2 wooden spoons
Wax Paper
2 large Ziploc freezer bags
Keeping organized is important for me. I first cleared my kitchen counter
and had the dishwasher emptied (or sink clean and full of hot, soapy water)
so I could clean up as I go. I put 1 large and 1 medium mixing bowl and 1
wooden spoon on left, 1 large and 1 medium mixing bowl and 1 wooden spoon on
right. The left (for me) is Chocolate Chip - The right is Oatmeal Raisin (I
remembered it by putting them alphabetically). Try and put each ingredient
AWAY after you've measure it into the bowls -- that will keep things less
confusing AND your kitchen will be almost clean by the time you're all done!
Get out all ingredients and place in the middle of the counter, between the
two sets of bowls.
In the MEDIUM mixing bowls:
2 1/4 cups flour - LEFT med bowl
2 cups flour - RIGHT med bowl
1 teaspoon salt - LEFT med bowl
1 teaspoon salt - RIGHT med bowl
1 teaspoon baking soda - LEFT med bowl
1 teaspoon baking soda - RIGHT med bowl
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon - RIGHT med bowl
Using it's own wooden spoon, mix dry ingredients thoroughly in each bowl.
Set each bowl aside (keeping them on the Left and Right hand sides of the
counter!) At this point, I put extra flour, salt, bak soda and cinnamon
AWAY.
In the LARGE mixing bowls:
3/4 cup brown sugar - LEFT large bowl
1 cup brown sugar - RIGHT large bowl
3/4 cup granulated sugar - LEFT large bowl
1 cup granulated sugar - RIGHT large bowl
1 cup softened butter/margarine - LEFT large bowl
1 cup softened butter/margarine - RIGHT large bowl
1 teaspoon vanilla extract - LEFT large bowl
1 teaspoon vanilla extract - RIGHT large bowl
At this point, I put remaining brown sugar, sugar and vanilla AWAY!
Using electric mixer, beat ingredients in each large bowl until creamy and
smooth. To this, add:
2 eggs - LEFT large bowl - beat eggs in thoroughly.
2 eggs - RIGHT large bowl - beat eggs in thoroughly.
To the LEFT large bowl, add dry ingredients from LEFT medium bowl and mix
well.
To the RIGHT large bowl, add dry ingredients from RIGHT medium bowl and mix
well.
(At this point, I put medium bowls in dishwasher, along with measuring
spoons)
To the LEFT large bowl, add 12 oz pkg of chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped
nuts, Mix well with wooden spoon.
To the RIGHT large bowl, add 3 cups of Quick Cooking Oatmeal and 1 cup
chopped nuts, and mix well with wooden spoon.
You now have 2 large batches of each kind of cookie.
Tear off 8-10 squares of waxed paper - about 11 x 11 inches each. Spray ONE
sheet of waxed paper lightly with Pam or other non-stick spray. Spoon out
several mixing spoonfuls of dough onto this sprayed sheet, and use the sheet
to roll and press the cookie dough into a "log" about 8 inches long, 2
inches across. Press firmly to eliminate air pockets. Roll if off the
sprayed sheet and onto a clean waxed paper sheet, roll up, tucking ends in
(burrito style!). Continue forming these "logs" - I had 4 logs of chocolate
chip dough, and 5 logs of oatmeal cookie dough, and enough dough left over
to cook a dozen cookies of each kind today.
Place all the choc. chip dough logs in a large ziploc bag, and label "Choc
Chip Cookie Dough - 375 - 8-10 mins". Place all Oatmeal Raisin cookie dough
logs in a second ziploc bag and label "Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Dough - 375 -
12-14 mins".
You only need to pull out a dough log out of the freezer about an hour
before wanting to bake it. Slice or spoon into cookie size portions onto
ungreased cookie sheet, bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 mins for choc chip,
12 -14 for oatmeal.
I had enough dough left over to cook up one batch (1 dozen) of each kind of
cookie today.
