Drop Cookies: German Chocolate Cookies

Have you ever been making a cake, but right before you added the milk, you changed your mind and wanted cookies instead? Is that just me? Doesn't matter. What matters is that sometimes it works out.


These cookies are soft inside and so very tasty. The tops crack a little as they cool, making them look like tiny little cakes. They are nothing short of delicious, so make extra. It's a really easy recipe. Just put everything in a bowl and mix.


Ingredients


1 cup cocoa powder
1 cup sugar
1¼ cup all purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
¼ cup rolled oats
¼ cup oil
2 eggs
½ cup chocolate chips


Preparation


Preheat oven to 350°F. Place all ingredients into a large bowl and mix with a fork until the fork isn't mixing things very well. Then use your hands. Get right in there and make sure everything is well combined. Mixture should be slightly sticky but still a little crumbly.


Drop by rounded teaspoons onto a prepared cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Do not flatten. Bake for 9 minutes. Remove immediately from cookie sheets and cool on a wire rack. This recipe makes approximately 30 cookies.


Store in an airtight container. Though my kids usually eat them before I have to worry about that...
