Silo Cookies

INGREDIENTS:

2 sticks unsalted butter (room temperature)
1 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups peanut butter chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a mixer, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, blending in between each one. Then, add the vanilla and beat until mixed.

Whisk together dry ingredients including the flour, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Slowly add to the mixer and beat until incorporated. On low speed, add the oats, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and walnuts. Beat until mixed, about 15-20 seconds.

Scoop dough onto one baking sheet in two inch balls. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

On second baking sheet, set dough three inches apart and bake until browned, 13-15 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days.

We finally got rain! Loved it. Since I couldn't work outside you can see I've been on a cookie binge. Love making cookies and there is always someone who will enjoy them.

This is another recipe from Joanna Gaines. From the article " It's Gaines family signature. Named after their Silos Baking Co., the recipe includes a favorite ingredient from each Gaines family member: nuts for Chip, peanut butter chips for the girls, and chocolate chips for the boys. Basically, Joanna wanted to satisfy everyone so she dumped all their favorites into a bowl and called it a day. The result? Deliciousness."

They came out really good and if we head to Canada this summer I might make them for Gabe's parents.
