Brownie Oatmeal Cookies
1 (8 oz) block of cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 (12 oz) bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
1-1/2 cups flour
1-1/2 tsp baking soda
3 cups quick oats
1 cup walnuts, chopped (optional but they are really good in there!)
*1 cup chocolate or white chocolate chips (optional)
This dough needs to spend an hour in the fridge so don't preheat the oven until you are ready to bake them. Just so you know!
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add sugars and beat until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well to combine.
In a small bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave, 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between. Add to creamed mixture.
Add flour and baking soda; mix well. Stir in oatmeal, nuts and optional chocolate chips. Cover and chill for an hour.
Preheat oven to 350-F. Shape dough into 1-inch balls, place on cookie sheet about 3 inches apart. Flatten slightly with your palm before baking. Bake 8-10 minutes or until cookies are almost set. Don't over-bake!
Cool on cookie sheet for a couple of minutes then remove to a wire rack to cool. Store in airtight container.
Happy Baking!
