Hosting a Super Bowl party? Cookies are the perfect, no fuss, dessert! To wow your guests, we took an ordinary oatmeal cookie and changed it into a delicious Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Football Cookie! They are chewy in the middle, crispy on the edges, and will disappear in a blink of an eye.
Do you want to keep the kids a little busy during the football game? Make the football cookies ahead of time, and have the kids pipe on the white chocolate lines or decorate with their favorite team colors!
Kids Can Help:
Measure out the dry ingredients.
Beat the wet ingredients.
Stir in oats and chocolate chips.
Pipe on the white chocolate lines onto the cookies.
In a medium size bowl, mix together 1½ cup flour, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
Using an electric mixer, beat 1 cup butter, ¾ cup brown sugar, ½ cup granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon molasses until light and fluffy.
Add 1 teaspoon vanilla; beat until combined.
Beat in 2 eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl after each addition.
On low speed, add the flour mixture and beat until just combined.
Stir in 2 cups oats and ¼ cup mini chocolate chips.
Drop 1 tablespoon dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Form each mound into an oval.
Bake for 8 minutes until the edges begin to brown.
Remove from oven and using two butter knives, immediately shape the ends of the soft cookies, forming the footballs. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
While the cookies are cooling, melt 2 cups white chocolate chips in the microwave. Fill a plastic bag with the melted white chocolate, snip the end of the bag and squeeze lines in the center of each football cookie. Allow to set.
