Cookies, Cookies and more Cookies

Today's a big day, its my cookie overload day!! I'm jumping on the cookie baking bandwagon and ain't getting off until I've baked enough christmas cookies that will make Santa's beg for mercy!! My friend, who not much of a baker, and I have a list of serval types of cookies she wants to bake. . . . we'll see how many we actually get through because it usually turns into me baking and her 'supervising'. I actually whipped up some of these White Chocolate and Pistachio cookies the other day and I must say, they were good! I'll give you my modified version of the recipe but you can find the original over at the blog Honest Fare.

White Chocolate and Pistachio Cookies

1 cup butter - 1 cup granulated sugar - 1 cup packed light brown sugar - 2 eggs - 2 tbsp milk - 1 tbsp vanilla extract - 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour - 1 tsp each baking powder, baking soda and salt - 1 cup rolled oats - 1 1/4 cups chopped pistachios - 1 1/4 cups white chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350°F. Cream butter and sugars together on medium speed until fluffy. Add in eggs one at a time. Add vanilla and milk. In seperate bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add into butter mix and mix. Add in oats, nuts and chocolate chips and just combine. Roll into 1/2 balls and place 2 inchs apart on a baking tray. Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes, until golden. Allow to cool slightly on tray before moving to a cooling rack.
