Linda’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Recipes
Written By Linda Secondari

Satisfy your winter holiday comfort cravings with a freshly baked oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. In my recipe, cinnamon and nutmeg add complexity to the cookies’ flavor profile, and oatmeal lends a compelling texture (plus a hint of nuttiness). My oatmeal chocolate chip cookies also make a great shareable treat for neighbors and loved ones.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups unsifted all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 butter

  • 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • A good pinch of cinnamon

  • A good pinch of fresh nutmeg

  • 2 eggs

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

  • 1 package (12 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips

 
 
 
 

Directions

  • Heat oven to 350°. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.

  • Combine flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking soda in a medium bowl.

  • Beat together butter, sugars and vanilla in a large bowl until creamy. Add eggs, beating until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in flour mixture and rolled oats. Stir in chocolate chips.

  • Drop batter by well-rounded teaspoons onto lined baking sheets. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden. Cool cookies on sheets on a wire rack for 2 minutes.

    Yield: 4 dozen cookies

I’ve spent more years than I care to mention honing my skills at preeminent academic publishers. As the Creative Director for both Oxford University Press and Columbia University Press, and Art Director for Russek Advertising (where clients included Shakespeare in the Park and John Leguizamo), I felt the call to take what I’d learned and what I’d done and start my own design studio (or studiolo).

Using intelligent design strategy and inspiring design solutions, I believe we can improve the world through better communication. I’ve been fortunate to do that for independent authors, major publishers, NGOs, educational institutions, nonprofits and think tanks. And while the industries might be varied, the one unifier is a desire to reach their audience and get their big ideas noticed.

Whether I’m cooking up a batch of puttanesca or helping an organization rethink their look, message and go-to-market strategy, I always strive to create an end result that wows.

My clients often remark how I interpret what they need from what they say and that I’m the calm voice of reason in their often frenetic industry. (must be all that meditating.)

If you have a project that could use some transformation, let’s turn the page together.
