Great Coffee cookies

This is a great recipe.
We added the coffee but you can make it regular for the kids.

Ingredients:

(PART 1)
2cups unbleached flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

(PART 2)
2 1/2 cups old-fashioned oatmeal
4 oz (4 Hershey bars) milk chocolate in broken pieces

(PART 3)
2 sticks unsalted butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs

(PART 4)
2 cups (12oz) semisweet choco-chips
(1 cup crunched walnuts)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.Add all of PART 1 together in bowl and add together.Grab the coffee grinder and Cut or break the milk choco into pieces and add it to the oatmeal (PART 2). Grind until the oatmeal and choco are almost powdered. Add to flour bowl.In large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat soften butter then add PART 3 one ingredient at a time. Then add the dry ingredients slowly, making sure you scrape the bowl. Clean the mixer pieces then Add PART 4 and mix with your hands. Make small round balls out of your batter and place on cookie sheet. Put in oven for 9 minutes. After 9 min check and maybe give one more minute. YOU WANT TO TAKE THE COOKIES OUT EARLY because they WILL keep cooking even when you pull them out and these cookies NEED to still be very soft. Let them sit for a minute then put then onto a paper towel. IF YOU OVERCOOK the cookies they are great to dip in coffee.

Other Additions:
(these are things you can add to make the cookies different)
-Subsitute mint milk choco chips in PART 2
-Add chopped mint leaves
-Put a cherry in the center of each cookie before they enter the oven
-Add two-three tablespoons of dry coffee grounds
-Use different kinds of choco chips
-Add 1/2 cherry extract and 1/2 vanilla extract
-Add 1 tsp nutmeg
-Add 2 tsp cinnamon
-add whatever you think would taste good!! :)

Remember that you get to have fun!!

I Hope You Enjoy!!
