Milk Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies.

Milk Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
2 cups (11 1/2 oz bag) Nestle Toll House milk chocolate morsels
1 cup quick or old fashioned oats
1/2 cup raisins (optional)

Combine flour, baking powder, soda, cinnamon, and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla in large mixer bowl until creamy. Beat in egg. Gradually beat in flour mixture and milk. Stir in morsels, oats, and raisins. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.

Bake in preheated 375˚F oven for 10 to 14 minutes or until edges are crisp, but centers are still soft. Let stand for 2 minutes: remove to wire racks to cool completely. Makes about 3 dozen.

Marcus’s tips:
1. Use granulated brown sugar, its easier to measure.
2. Semi-sweet chocolate chips are good instead of milk chocolate.
3. I opt not to use the raisins.
4. These cookies disappear in a hurry, they are delicious.
