My New Favorite Cookie Recipe

Normally, all my posts are sewing related or show products from  The Polka Dot Store. Today I have something different for you....my new favorite cookie recipe.

Don't they look good! Well they taste as good as they look. It started with a recipe by Paula Deen and I tweaked it to fit my taste bubs. Here is the recipe:

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Raisin Cookies

•  1 1/2 cups butter, softened
•  1 1/2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
•  3/4 cup sugar
•  3 large eggs
•  1 tablespoon vanilla
•  3 1/2 cups flour
•  1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
•  1/2 salt
•  3 cups oatmeal
•  12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
•  1/2 cup white raisins (optional)
•  1/2 cup toffee chips (approximately) (optional)
•  1 cup chopped pecans (approximately) (optional)

Place ice cream scoop size mounds on a lightly greased cookie sheet. You can also use a piece of parchment paper  or a Silicone mat instead of greasing the cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes.

*Note: you can mix and match the ingredients marked "optional" or leave them off. Personally, I like to use all of them if I happen to have them in my pantry! Yummy deliciousness! This makes a LARGE amount of cookies.

Here is another picture of the cookies:

Enjoy!
