Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies

A quick and delicious variation on our usual chocolate chip cookie; the extra liquid creates a softer cookie. Thanks for the great idea Kristen!

Dry mix

• 1 bag GRAINSTORM Rustic Cookie Mix
  Or mill your own

Wet mix

• 2 large eggs
• 1 stick (½ cup) butter, melted
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 tbsp fresh orange juice
• 2 tsp grated orange zest

Other ingredients

• 1 cup chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350°F, lightly grease cookie sheets
2. Wet mix: in a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, add remaining ingredients and whisk until smooth
3. Other ingredients: combine with wet mix in the large bowl
4. Final batter: combine dry and wet mixes, folding gently until no dry spots remain. Do not over mix. Do NOT beat smooth.
5. Let stand for 30 to 60 minnutes so the oats can absorb the liquid.
6. Spoon out 12 to a sheet; you can press them down if you want thinner and crisper
7. Bake 11-14 minutes, or until nicely browned top and bottom.
8. Remove from oven and after 5-10 miinutes remove to cooling rack
9. Store in cookie jar or freezer; not in the fridge or in an air-tight container

Makes 24 cookies

NOTE: Increasing both butter and sugar by 25%-50% will make a richer, crisper, and of course sweeter variation.
