oatmeal minis

I love a good oatmeal raisin cookie. I decided to make a batch last night but I wanted to add a little chocolate to them (we know everything is better with a little chocolate). I also wanted to make them smaller than your average cookie.  The recipe is simple and they turned out delicious.

Ingredients:

• 2 sticks of unsalted butter, at room temperature or slightly melted
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature 
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 1/2-3 cups oatmeal oats
• 1-1 1/2 cups raisins
• 2 bars of Hersheys Milk Chocolate

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
• In a food processor, mix the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy
• Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time
• Combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together into a big bowl
• Slowly add the ingredients from the food processor into the bowl and mix
• Add the oats and raisins and mix until all combined
• Scoop small mounds of dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper
• Bake for 12-15 minutes or until just lightly browned on the bottoms
• Let the cookies cool
• Cut the cookies in halves and quarters 
• Melt the chocolate in a microwavable safe bowl
• Once cookies are cooled and cut, drizzle the melted chocolate on them
• Let cool a bit more and enjoy!
