My nephew, Gavin Poor, past away a few days ago. He and I would bake cookies together when he would come to my house. Very precious memories. Im sharing his favorite cookie recipe with you guys. I love and miss you my sweet nephew! Gavins Cookies (Oatmeal Chocolate Chip) 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened 1 cup packed light brown sugar 1 cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips Directions Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg in a medium bowl and set aside. Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (you can also use a hand mixer), beat the softened butter and sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy (3-6 minutes). Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until combined; scraping down the sides of the bowl, as needed. Reduce the speed of the mixer to low and slowly add the flour mixture until combined (about 30 seconds). Using a spatula, stir in the oats and chocolate chips just until combined. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 325 F degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a large cookie scoop, drop dough onto prepared baking sheets. If you do not have a large cookie scoop, measure approximately 1/4 cup of dough and roll into a balls before placing on cookie sheet. Make sure to space dough about 2 1/2 inches apart. Using the bottom of a measuring cup, flatten the cookies slightly. Bake cookies for 20-22 minutes, until edges are golden and tops of cookies are still puffy. Cool cookies on baking sheet for 10 minutes. Best eaten warm with a special nephew. I will miss you Gavin.
