Has your kid ever told you….”Mom, I’m supposed to bring
cookies to school tomorrow. I forgot to
tell you.”? I’m pretty sure this happens
kind of frequently. In the kid’s mind…cookies
kind of just miraculously happen. They
don’t make them. What do they care? Well, today I have the world’s easiest cookie
recipe, which could quite possible also be the best tasting cookie I have ever
had. Seriously.
I am going to show you my “recipe” for Peachy White
Chocolate Oatmeal cookies. Long name,
easy recipe.
I used a packaged oatmeal cookie mix. The back of the bag asks for 1 tablespoon of
water, a softened stick of butter and one egg.
I add Gourmet Rooster County Fair Peach Spread and white chocolate
chips.
Now I realize that adding Gourmet Rooster County Fair Peach
Spread might be problematic for some of you.
If you can’t get your hands on any, feel free to use any kind of peach
preserves you can find. You will also
want to add about 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, ½ teaspoon nutmeg and a pinch of
ginger. Or a tablespoon of Pumpkin Pie
Spice. Same idea, but obviously not as
good;) Ha!
FYI-if you live in Northern Nevada, it is about to get
easier to get my products. I am going to
start selling at Farmer’s Markets this Saturday. I will be at the Summit Mall on Saturdays and
Tuesdays and at the Spark’s Farmers Market on Thursday evenings.
I have never once had the forethought to soften by butter
the right way….by leaving it out on the counter until soft. Who plans ahead like that? I pop my butter in the microwave for about 20
seconds. This should soften it without
melting it.
I mixed the softened butter with an egg and water.
Then, in goes the bag of cookie mix and the peach
spread. This dough will be stiff….which
is good. Stiff things are good. I am talking about stiff drinks, dirty birds.
Then, I stirred in the chips. Use your muscles.
I used an ice cream scooper to get uniform sized
cookies. I also baked my cookies on
parchment paper so I didn’t have to worry about sticking.
This recipe will make about 3 dozen cookies. Maybe less, maybe more….depending on what
size you make them.
Chris actually said this was the “best cookie” he’d ever
had. For a second I felt bad considering
all the cookies I have made him from scratch.
But then I realized I was lucky that I could use this crazy easy recipe
anytime to give him the “best cookies”.
If you have never had my County Fair Peach Spread, let me
just tell you….it tastes a lot like peach pie filling. It is spiced with all the warm spices….cinnamon,
nutmeg, etc. This gives the cookies the
most delicious peachy pie-like flavor.
And the white chocolate chips send these over the top. You will love these. I did, and I tend to not like oatmeal
cookies! But these are amazing. Try them and tell me what you think!
