NEXT UP: Impromptu White Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies

The other night, my roommate and I got a major sweets craving. Funny how this craving usually hits during late Sunday night homework sessions. We searched our cabinets and took inventory of our sugary snacks: a Twix bar, half a box of Thin Mint cookies, a few Double Bubbles, and a granola bar. Those options just didn't appeal to us.

I suddenly recalled a leftover Ghirardelli White Chocolate Bar I purchased a couple weeks ago when I baked some WCMNC. We decided a treat would taste a lot better if we made it ourselves. Hence, a recipe for Impromptu White Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies was born.

This recipe uses ingredients you probably have on hand and yields a fairly small number of cookies (although feel free to increase the measurements!). In a matter of 20 minutes, we had whipped up a satisfying dessert that cured our craving. Now, if only we could create a cookie that would do our homework too...

White Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies

1/3 cup butter

1/3 cup light brown sugar

1/3 cup white sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1 egg

1 cup flour

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 cup old-fashioned oats

1 cup of broken pieces of a white chocolate bar

2) Cream together the butter and sugars in a medium bowl.

3) Blend the vanilla and egg into the butter/sugar mix.

4) In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, and baking powder).
