How to Make Experimental Oatmeal Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¾ cup rolled oats (not instant).
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ cup brown sugar.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in ½ cup chocolate chips (or your choice of mix-ins: raisins, nuts, dried cranberries, etc.). Add a tablespoon or two of skim milk if the dough seems too dry.
  6. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
