The Pirate Cookie

The Pirate Cookie

 

2 sticks softened butter (unsalted)
1 cup dark brown sugar packed
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon rum extract
2 teaspoon vanilla
1 tsp. salt (if you use salted butter, change this to 1/2 tsp.)
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1-1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups old fashioned oats
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl or stand mixer (which is what I use) cream together butter and sugar until fluffy. In separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, & salt. Add eggs to butter/egg mixture one at a time until incorporated. Then add extracts and mix. Then add in flour and mix just until no white is left showing. Then mix in oats and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

If you scoop out a mound about the size of 1 tbsp., you should end up with about 30 or so cookies. I use a mini ice-cream scoop, so that's the amount I roughly produced.  Place your scoops on a parchment lined backing tray or silicone mat and bake for 12-15 minutes.
