Day 67: Oatmeal Cinnamon Chip Cookies and a Blog Hop!

As Oatmeal Cookie Week continues, I decided to try something different. Being a new blogger, I have learned a lot in the past few months. One of which is the beautiful invention of the blog hop. A great way to discover new blogs and make new online friends. I have come across some of my favorite blogs through these hops.

I participate (almost) weekly in the Disney Wordless Wednesday Hop hosted by Deb from Focus on The Magic of Disney. I have come across some great people and have been able to share pictures from our family's trip to Walt Disney World, bonus!

I am using this week as a test week. What I would like to do is set up a weekly hop where recipes, stories and pictures are shared from "Baking With Your Kids". Once I figure out how to create what is known in the blog-o-sphere as a "button" I will launch that hop.

Today, I am sharing one of my favorite Oatmeal Cookie Recipes. I adapted it from Hershey's Oatmeal Cinnamon Chip Cookie Recipe.

Day 65: White Chocolate and Toffee Oatmeal Cookies

A few weeks back, I presented Brownie Week. Having a weekly theme was wonderful. I was more organized and received some great feed back from readers. Brownie week was so successful, I decided to try another themed week.

This week, I present...Oatmeal Cookie Week!

Like brownies, the flavor combinations for an oatmeal cookie are endless. Some recipes are spicy and sweet, yet others can be healthy or full of chocolate.
To kick of Oatmeal Cookie Week, I made this decadent White Chocolate Toffee Oatmeal Cookie.

This would be a great cookie for all those baby and wedding showers you are currently attending. If your life is anything like mine there is at least one shower a weekend now through July!

White Chocolate and Toffee Oatmeal Cookies

1/2 stick of butter

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 Tbs of agave syrup

1 egg

1/2 tsp of bourbon vanilla (can substitute pure vanilla)

3/4 cup bread flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 cups old fashion oats

1 cup white chocolate chips

1 cup of Toffee Bits

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

Cream the butter, brown sugar and agave together

Add egg and vanilla, mix well.

Slowly stir in flour, baking soda and salt.

Stir in oats.

Add white chocolate and toffee, hand mix.

Place teaspoon sized drops od dough on an ungreased cookie sheet

Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.

Let cookies rest on the cookie sheet for 1 minute

Remove to rack for complete cooling.

Soft, chewy and full of flavor! If you substitute pure vanilla, try adding a pinch of cinnamon. It will add a spicy bite to the cookies.

Let Oatmeal Cookie Week Begin!!!
