Cookie Season

For some reason this summer I keep craving cookies. I keep having cookie ideas pop up in my head and they won't get out until I go home and bake them. I've already made 3 different types of chocolate chip cookies this summer!

These 2 are some of my a favorites and their flavor combos make my tastebuds happy. I love bringing a batch of fresh cookies camping or over to a friends house in the summer. For some reason it goes well with the season in my mind.

I took these guys camping with us this weekend:


Lavender Oat White Chocolate cookies
These are amazing because they aren't too sweet but have a really delicate flavor and a great cookie texture! I love them so much I made another batch after I tried one. (also work great as camping breakfast- I counted the oats :)

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar; packed
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsp lavender; lightly ground (mortar & pestle)
1 cup oats
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup white chocolate chips

preheat oven 350 degrees F
1    beat butter and sugar together
2    beat in egg, vanilla and lavender
3    in another bowl mix together oats, flour, and powder
4    slowly mix flour mixture into butter mixture, mix only until combined
5    hand stir in white chocolate
6    use a heaping tbs of dough to make each cookie on baking sheet
7    lightly press each cookie dough down so they're a little flat on top
8    bake 10-15 minutes



 Hazelnut Wheat Chocolate Chip cookies:
beware this one makes a lot o cookies but you won't regret it

3 1/2 cups white wheat flour
1 1/4 tsp baking soda

8 oz chocolate; I like to mix different kinds and cut them roughly from bars

preheat oven 350 degrees F
1    beat butter and sugar together
2    beat in eggs and vanilla
3    in another bowl mix together flour, powder, soda and salt
4    slowly mix flour mixture into butter mixture, mix only until combined
