Vanishing Cookies

Oh my goodness, these cookies are to die for!  Seriously, I think you could die from them because they are so good that you could eat such an ungodly amount that you would die.  Everybody should have a go to cookie recipe and this is definitely mine.  Well, this and cookie bars but those can be for another day.  Why must I love sweets so much?


The name vanishing is completely appropriate too because they just vanish, especially if you have a 14 year old brother.  You can also double the recipe like I just did because I am getting ready to go to North Carolina with my parents, brother, brother's friend, and boy cousin.  Those three boys will probably eat all the cookies in the car since they are that good.  If you do double it, it will almost bubble over the side of the mixer.  It makes a ton!

So here's the recipe- not doubled:

Vanishing Oatmeal Cookies

1/2 cup + 6 tbsp butter, softened

3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 cups old fashioned oatmeal (not cooked- duh)

1 cup craisins (I add a little more)

1 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (or more)

1.) Heat the oven to 350.  In a large bowl, beat butter and sugars until creamy

2.) Add eggs and vanilla, beat well

3.) Add combined flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt- mix well

4.) Add oats, craisins, and white chocolate 

5.) Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheet 
6.) Bake for 6-8 minutes until lightly golden brown. 
7.) Let cool and then devour! 


Oh my, these cookies are by far the best.  They are the best smelling cookies and just wait until you taste them.  So stop reading and make these cookies.  Or don't because they are seriously the devil in cookie form.
