Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

(These aren't actually the cookies I made, but they look like them)

So yesterday, I wanted to make a oatmeal cookie recipe I had found in one of my cook books. I remembered to get the things I needed from the grocery store, but when I got home I realized I had two boxes of baking soda instead of one of baking soda and one of baking powder... and I was under a time crunch - GAH! The worst part about baking soda and powder is that you can substitute baking soda with baking powder, yet not the other way without tartar sauce - who has tartar sauce in an emergency?!

Well, as I was about to give up, I decided to check the oatmeal cookie recipe Mom had given me - 

HALLELUJAH!

Her recipe required no baking powder - I was saved.

I tossed all the ingredients into my wonderful KitchenAid and had a great batch of cookies by the end of it, so I thought I'd share the recipe:

(I made chocolate chip by not adding cinnamon and using chocolate chips instead of raisins... Oh, and I realize now I forgot about the butter! Maybe that would've made mine more moist. Well, if you want to stay healthier, I think they still taste fine without butter. Haha!)

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies    

3/4 c Butter

1/3 c Milk

1 1/2 c Sugar

2 Eggs

2 c Flour

1 t Cinnamon

1 t Salt

1/2 t Baking Soda

3 c Oats

1 c Raisins

Mix 'em all together.

Drop spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet

Bake at 350° F for 15 minutes


A few Aussie adjustments:
"well I had the heat on 180 degree Celsius and instead of sugar I used 3Tbs of honey. I also only had quick oats which is what you use to make porridge but it worked a treat."
