Chocolate Oat Cookies
Chewy oat cookies with a crunchy bite and a chocolate hit! This recipe makes about 16 medium sized cookies.
Ingredients
- 113 g butter
- 140 g brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 130 g rolled oats
- 150 g chopped dark chocolate
Sift and mix in a bowl:
- 120 g plain flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 170C.
- Using a mixer, whisk butter and sugar until well combined. Add in egg and vanilla extract. Whisk again. Add in the flour + baking soda and continue to mix until well combined.
- Add in oats and chopped chocolate and stir with a spatula. Your dough is ready.
- Roll 2 tbsp of dough into a ball and flatten with your palm. Be sure the cookies are spaced well apart on a lined baking tray. If you wish, use a circular cookie cutter and swirl cookie around to neaten edges and round them nicely. Bake for 11-13 mins. I bake mine for 11 mins on the lowest rack.
- You want the cookies with golden edges but still soft in the centre. It will continue to firm up once it cools. Done.
Notes
Top Tips:
- If the batter gets a bit sticky (in our humidity) just stick it in the fridge for a bit - it will be easier to handle.
- Be sure butter and egg are at room temperature before baking.
- Use good quality dark chocolate.
- Be sure to space cookies apart on baking tray. They need room to 'spread'.
- Use a round cookie cutter and swirl cookies around to create a nice 'round' look prior to going in oven OR you can do this step as soon as they are out of the oven.
