It’s a cold and rainy winter’s day in Sydney….what better to do than to bake cookies!! I also suggest baking cookies in the following situations:
- When avoiding doing work
- When avoiding cleaning the house
- When avoiding study commitments
- When avoiding going to the gym!!
One of my first blog posts in 2013, was a recipe for Tollhouse cookies, one of my all time favourites!! Today I decided to try something different, with the addition of oats….and these babies were delicious!! Easy to make (and too easy to eat *hangs head in shame*). Whilst these aren’t exactly health food, the addition of oats makes them lower GI than regular chocolate chip cookies.
I used this recipe from BBC Food Network:
Ingredients:
- 150grams butter (room temperature)
- 100 grams caster sugar
- 80 grams tightly packed brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup flour (250 grams)
- 1&1/4 cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon bi-carbonate soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1 packet milk or dark chocolate chips
Method:
- Pre-heat over to 180 degrees celsius
- Line baking trays with baking paper
- Cream butter and sugars together with an electric mixer. Add egg and vanilla and continue to beat with mixer until light and creamy.
- In a second bowl, combine flour, bi-carb, baking powder, oats and chocolate chips
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and beat to combine.
- Roll cookies into 2cm balls, and space 5cm apart on baking trays
- Bake for 8-10 minutes
- Transfer to a wire rack for cooling
Don’t forget to enjoy with a glass of milk!!
