Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a large bowl, cream (or mix) together the butter, brown sugar, and cane sugar. 
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract to your mixture, and mix well.
  • Stir the baking soda into your buttermilk (or sour milk) and set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients, including the flour, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  • Mix the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. 
  • Fold in the oatmeal and chocolate chips, mixing them into the dough.
  • Using a cookie scoop, drop cookies onto your cookie sheet, pressing/patting the cookies somewhat flat with the flat bottom of a glass.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies turn a nice golden brown. 
  • When you remove each batch from the oven, remove the cookies from the cookie sheet and allow them to cool on a wire rack.
  • Serve with a nice tall glass of ice cold milk. 

Notes

*You can make buttermilk (or sour milk) by mixing together about 1/4 to 1/2 tablespoon of vinegar with the 1/4 cup of milk. To make sure I have the right amount of liquid, I’ll usually pour my vinegar into the measuring cup first; then add the milk to my desired level or measurement.
