Oh, baby . . .

Just popped these bad boys out of the oven:

Honey Graham Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1 large egg
3 tbsp buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3 cups quick cooking oatmeal
1 cup honey graham crackers/honey grahams cereal, lightly crushed
2 cups chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350F.

In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars. Beat in egg, buttermilk and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Blend into butter mixture.

Working with a mixer on low speed or by hand, stir in 3 cups quick-cooking oatmeal (not instant) and 1 cup honey grahams. Stir in chocolate chips last and mix only enough to evenly distribute.

Divide dough into 1-inch balls on prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 12-14 minutes, until edges are lightly browned. Let cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Makes about 4 1/2 dozen.

Notes: I added in a bit more than 1 c. of Honey Grahams. It just didn't look like enough. Also, only put in 1 c. chocolate chips-- that definitely looked like enough!! And oh yeah, I didn't crush the cereal before I put it in, I just let it get crunched as I stirred. I think they'll be better with big chunks-- but I could be wrong.

Mmmmm. Honey grahams + oatmeal chocolate chip cookies = bliss.
