When it comes to cookies, I’m a bit of an addict. There’s
nothing I love more than sitting down with a good book, a big mug of a tea and
a plate full of cookies. Now don’t get me wrong, store bought cookies are great
but I don’t think you can beat the smell of freshly baked chocolate chippy
goodness. Whilst these might not look like much the oats give the perfect
amount of chewy texture and they’re loaded with melted chocolate.
These cookies are pretty easy to rustle up and you’ve
probably got the ingredients lurking in your cupboard somewhere already.
You’re going to need:
·
half cup of butter
·
half cup of soft light brown sugar
·
half cup of caster sugar
·
1 cup of plain flour
·
1 1/4 cups of oats ( not quick cook, just old
fashioned rolled oats)
·
1 egg
·
1/2 tsp baking powder
·
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
·
1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips (or whatever
chocolate you have to hand)
·
1 tsp vanilla extract
How to do it:
1. - Preheat oven to 180 degrees and line two baking
trays with grease proof paper
2. - Cream the butter and both of the sugars in a
bowl
3. - Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat
4. - In a separate bowl add the flour to oats and
baking powders
5. - Then add the chocolate chips and the dry
ingredients to the egg and butter mixture
6. - Beat together
7. - Roll into 2cm balls and space about 5cm apart on
your trays. If you can it’s a good idea to try and chill your mix before you
pop it in the oven. This will help to keep your cookies thicker and stop them
spreading too far. 1 hour should do it.
8. - Place in the oven for 8-10 minutes. It’s a good
idea to check on them halfway through to check things are going smoothly!
9. - Remove cookies from the oven and try not to
scoff them all at once!
