I mentioned awhile ago (here) that I wanted to recreate a cookie I ate at Mary's Market. It was their "cookie of the month." Well, the day I tackled this recreation it was a chilly outside which is perfect for baking!
First, cream together butter, sugar and brown sugar.
Then combine the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Add to the creamed mixture. Stir in oats and chocolate chips. Drop by tablespoons on parchment paper lined sheets and bake 8-12 mintues. Allow to cool before you drizzle with caramel.
Don't let look heavenly? Oh, they were so good! Soft, chewy and yummy! Click here for the printable recipe.
Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies with Caramel Drizzle
by crazyloucreations.blogspot.com
Yield: About 30 cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
2 ¾ cup quick cooking oats
1 cup chocolate chips
caramel bits
Directions:
- Preheat
oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl cream together the butter and
sugars until fluffy, about 3 minutes. (I used my Kitchen Aid Mixer, but
you could use an electric mixer)
- Beat
in eggs one at a time. Add in vanilla. In a medium bowl, combine flour,
baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Mix the dry ingredients into the
creamed mixture until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Line
baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray. Use a
medium scoop (1 ½ Tbls) and drop on prepared baking sheets about 2
inches apart.
- Bake
8-12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool about 5 minutes on baking sheet
before transferring to wire rack (or waxed paper) to cool completely.
- Follow instructions to melt caramel bits. I use about ½ cup. Drizzle over cooled cookies. Let set before storing.
Have a great Tuesday!

Me and the hubby were out to lunch the other day at a local establishment, Mary's Market. My lunch order came with a free cookie. Instead of going for the old traditional, standby chocolate chip cookie, I ordered the "cookie of the month" which happened to be an oatmeal cookie with a caramel drizzle. YUM. The cookie looked fabulous. I almost skipped my 1/2 sandwich and side salad so I could eat that cookie first, but I was a good girl and finished my lunch before I had dessert. It was tempting though.
The cookie was good, but not great. I told my husband that I was going to take on a challenge and try to recreate it with my own flare. I'm sure he thought "oh here we go again...", but oh well! What's life without a few challenges, right? So, my mission next week during my vacation from my "real job", I'm going to attempt to make this oatmeal, chocolate chip cookie with a caramel drizzle. Who wants to test them out? Let me know! Stay tuned for the results!
