Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies for Aunty Angie

Today I am baking with a treasure that Aunty Andrea found on the top shelf of her downstairs cold room. Anna Borys (Baba), my kids grandma, kept her original 'Sunbeam Mixmaster' in mint condition and I have the pleasure of using it today to mix up a batch of these cookies for Aunty Angie who is recovering in the University hospital. 

Baba's Sunbeam Mixmaster

Yield:  80 small cookies

Ingredients:

1/2  lb. butter (1 cup) - room temperature (I use salted or non salted, which ever one I have in the house at the time)

1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar 
2 cups flour 
2 eggs
1 tbsp. Vanilla
2 cup large oat flakes (not instant) 
1 cup coconut flakes
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1  tsp. Salt
2 1/2 cup of chocolate chips 

1. In a mixer, cream butter and sugars together.
2. Add eggs and vanilla and continue to mix. 

3. Add all the dry ingredients and mix well with your mixer of choice. I am so very happy to be using Baba's today.

 4. Add chocolate chips and mix well again.

5. Scoop to bake

Bake cookies at 350° for 10-12 minutes (bake for 12 min. if you like them crispy)

Miriam's Time Saving Tip♥

Bake the cookies or for a great time saver roll the dough in parchment paper and store in a large zip lock to freeze for later use.
