Baptism Cookies - week 2

These are the cookies that we have handed out as "favors" after both our daughter's baptisms. I use these cookies because they have white chocolate chips (since white is meaningful for a baptism) -- But trust me, they are good anytime. In fact they are so good that I don't have a photo (they were all eaten).

White Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

1 cup butter (2 sticks)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
4 1/2 cups of oats
1 1/2 cups of white chocolate chips

Cream the butter and sugar. Add eggs and mix. Add the rest of the dry ingredients and mix well.

Note: This dough is thick. Spoon drop them onto a cookie sheet. (I use a cookie dough ball maker and you can also roll them into balls).

Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. Because there are so many oats, the cookies do not really flatten while cooking, so as soon as they are out of the oven give them a good smash with your spatula. Then move them to foil to cool down.

Also -- this makes a large batch of dough . . . so large that if I double the recipe it doesn't fit into my kitchen aid mixer.
