Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies (and Ice Cream!)
Adapted slightly from allrecipes.com
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
3 cups quick-cooking oats (I've used regular oats too, with great results)
2 cups chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time and then stir in vanilla. Add flour, baking soda, and salt and stir until just blended. Mix in the oats and chocolate chips. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto un-greased cookie sheet. Bake for 12 minutes.
Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream
Cuisinart Recipe Booklet
1 cup milk (the fattier the milk, the creamier the ice cream)
3/4 c. granulated sugar
pinch salt
2 cups heavy cream
1 Tbs. pure vanilla extract (the real stuff, please!)
Whisk together milk, sugar and salt until sugar is completely dissolved (about 3-4 minutes). Stir in cream and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate 1-2 hours, or overnight. Put in ice cream maker for 15-20 minutes; add mix-ins for the last 3-5 minutes, if desired. Freeze and seal tight the ice cream for additional 1-2 hours, if you want it more solid.
