Mega Triple Chip Oatmeal Cookies
As a dessert lover, I highly enjoy mega desserts. Oatmeal butterscotch cookies are one of my favorites, so I decided to take them up a level. With inspiration from the big cookie gurus, Fat and Weird Cookie, I whipped up a Mega Triple Chip Oatmeal Cookie. Basically, this cookie is a butterscotch oatmeal cookie, but bigger and with two extra flavors -peanut butter and dark chocolate. I’m sad to say my cookies didn’t hold their shape like a Fat and Weird cookie, but they were still large (4-5 cookies worth) and stuffed with lots of delicious flavor.
the details of triple chip oatmeal cookies
As mentioned above, the triple chip oatmeal cookie consists of three important flavors, butterscotch, peanut butter and chocolate. Each in the form of a morsel. What makes these cookies so special in that they’re stuffed with two pieces of a dark chocolate bar. This make the middle extra gooey. Whenever I got to that part of the cookie I had chocolate on my chin like I was 2 again just because of the extra and delicious gooeyness.
Another highlight of the triple chip oatmeal cookies are their texture. With oatmeal cookies, you can either make a soft cookie or a crisp cookie. Personally, I enjoy crisp oatmeal cookies, but when it comes to my extra large triple chip oatmeal cookies, you get the best of both worlds. The thickness of the cookie allows it to have a soft and chewy inside. But, if you bake the cookies just right, they’ll have a crispy outside, making for the perfect combination of soft and crispy.
Overall, these cookies came out really good. My goal is to alter the recipe so they can hold their shape and resemble the classic Fat and Weird cookie, but for now, we can just enjoy their disc like size.
When it comes to substitutions, you can put anything you want in these cookies. Switch up the morsels or stuff the cookies with a different candy. No matter what flavor combination you pick, the overall cookie will turn out great!!
