Giant Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie
This morning I had super baking success in the form of a Giant Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie Cake. It is no secret that I am not much of a baker. So, baking success makes me super giddy sort of happy. The inspiration this morning was many sorts of things. It was Aadi’s 12th birthday, so something sweet was in order. We have pretty much been celebrating from Friday. In this perfect weather every day feels like a celebration.
My Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie Story
Among life’s blessings today is an impromptu and unexpected holiday. Everything else seems to be falling right in place today. A beautiful morning with blues skies and fluffy white clouds. Just what I need to make this Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie
So, this giant Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie Cake is an amazing find, adapted from the recipe here, it was so easy and quick to put together, I actually made two variations – one with Oatmeal and one without.
Of course, as luck would have it the kids and hubby liked the version with oatmeal and I sort of liked the sans oatmeal variety. Ok, I liked them both, but preferred the sans oatmeal version a teeny bit more.
I also had no all purpose flour, so I ended up using whole wheat pastry flour, tiny bit more score for healthy. Other things going for this cookie cake are that it feels like a cake but gets done really quickly (about 20 minutes). It also really tasted great with a glass of milk, almost making it a possibility for breakfast, at least I can hope? As you know, nothing makes me happier than adding to my collection of baked desserts, especially an easy breezy addition.
