Chocolaty Oatmeal Cookies

 

Ingredients

1/4 cup water 
1-1/2 cups sugar  

1 cup butter, softened

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder        

1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour         
1/2 tsp. baking soda  

1/2 tsp. salt 

1 egg

1/2 tsp. vanilla

3 cups quick-cooking rolled oats

1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate pieces

 

 

              

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt and set aside.  In a large bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds.  Add sugar and beat mixture until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally.  Beat in egg, water and vanilla until combined.  Beat in as much of the flour mixture as you can.  Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour mixture and the rolled oats.  Stir in chocolate pieces.  Drop dough by rounded tablespoons 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake 10-12 minutes or until edges are set. Cool cookies on a wire rack.
