Brown Sugar Oatmeal Cookies

This week my sweet hubby turned 29!!! EEEP!!! I love getting to spoil the crap out of my loved ones! Of course I took him out for an ENTIRE day of everything he loves but, I also started his spoiling off with some of my addicting Brown Sugar Oatmeal Cookies, the night before. 

Look at the handsome face!!!

Brown Sugar Oatmeal Cookies

- 1 cup Salted Butter(2 sticks softened)

- 2 cups Packed Dark Brown Sugar

- 2 tsp. Vanilla Extract

- 2 Whole Eggs

- 1 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour

- 1 tsp. salt

- 1/2 tsp. baking soda

- 3 cups Old Fashioned Rolled Oats

- ***OPTIONAL*** 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350.

Begin by adding the softened butter and brown sugar to your mixing bowl with the regular metal paddle attached.

Mix until well combined.

***(ALWAYS break eggs into their own bowl ONE AT A TIME then add that one egg and repeat! You DO NOT want to get a bad egg and have to start any recipe ALL over!)***

Add in eggs, vanilla, salt, and baking soda. Combine until well mixed and add the flour.

***Add in the chopped nuts at this time too, if you're opting for them. Unless you have an allergy I recommend this option. The nuts give this cookie a WHOLE nother taste.**

Once all is well incorporated, reduce the speed to the lowest setting and SLOWLY begin adding the oats. Be sure to not dump it all in at once, most mixtures don't do well with a LARGE glob of dry ingredients all at once and you do NOT want to have to clean up sticky oats from your counters lol.

Using a cookie scoop(or a spoon) place scoops 2 inches apart on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Continue until all the dough is gone or until you have the amount of cookies desired. The rest can be stored in the freezer up to 3 months.

Bake on 350 for 10-12 minutes, depending on your oven.

Remove and place on wire racks to cool.

ENJOY!!! =D
