Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually blend in the dry ingredients from your earlier mixture. Once combined, fold in the oats, chocolate chips, and nuts (if using).
- Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look soft, but they’ll firm up as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Enjoy Grandma Mottle’s Blarney Stones warm out of the oven, or share them with friends and family. They bring a taste of nostalgia and warmth that can make any day feel special. Happy baking!
