Laura Bush's Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Recipe by: Rita Heikenfeld, Lazarus-Macy's and Ridge Market
Web produced by: Liz Foreman
1 1/2 cup (3 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
(if using salted butter, reduce the salt to 1/2 teaspoon if you
like)
1 cup sugar
1-1/2 cups light brown sugar, firmly packed
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 cups flour
1 tablespoon Kroger baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
3 cups quick oats (not old fashioned)
2 cups chopped walnuts
3 cups chocolate chunks
2 cups coarsely chopped dried cherries
Preheat oven to 350. Cream butter and both sugars. Creaming means simply
to beat until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then beat in vanilla.
Stir together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and oats. Add to
mixture and slowly beat until blended. Stir in nuts, chocolate and
cherries. Drop by tablespoonfuls an inch or so apart onto parchment
covered or sprayed cookie sheet. Bake 12-15 minutes. Don't overbake. Makes
about 8 dozen.
