Ingredients
- Granulated sugar- You can’t make great tasting cookies without sugar.
- Light brown sugar- Brown sugar adds flavor and helps to keep the cookies moist.
- Butter- Always use unsalted butter so that you can control the salt in the recipe.
- Eggs- The eggs do not need to be room temperature when making these cookies.
- Vanilla- Always use real vanilla. It gives the best flavor.
- All-purpose flour- Use all-purpose flour but self-rising flour works too.
- Baking soda- Baking soda is a must in cookies.
- Salt- Salt helps to bring out the flavor in baked goods.
- Baking powder- If you are using self rising flour, you do not need baking powder.
- Old-fashioned oats- You want to make sure that you are using old fashion oats and not quick oats.
- Crisp rice cereal- This is cereal like Rice Krispies
- Chocolate chips- You can use semi sweet or milk chocolate chips.
