Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Here's a batch of semi-indulgence cookies after all those healthy muffins earlier! I called them 'semi' cos they have healthy oatmeal inside. Ha! who am I trying to deceive? I especially like these cookies with a hot cup of black coffee. Just one or two pieces will be enough to satisfy those little urges to snack on something crispy, chewy and partially sweet. Most recipes I tried earlier did not yield what I craved for. They are either too sweet, too soft for soft-baked, too burnt and not crispy and most of all, does not flatten when baked thus looking like a round bomb, when it's done.

Ingredient A

120 gm butter

120 gm castor sugar

1 egg

2 tsp vanilla

125 gm all purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

A pinch of salt

---------

100 gm semi-sweet chocolate chips

140 gm rolled oats

30 ml grape seed oil / olive oil

Pre-heat oven at 160 degree celcius.

Pulse all 'Ingredient A' together in a food processor.

Stir in chocolate chips and rolled oats until even.

Drizzle in the grape seed oil and mix until batter is soft and slightly sticky.

Drop 1 teaspoon of cookie batter on a greased baking sheet and flatten it with the back of a fork.

Repeat this process till baking sheet is full, leaving enough space in between each cookie batter to expand when baking.

Bake for 8 - 10 minutes until cookies smells great and lightly browned.

Leave to cool completely on a wire rack before storing in an air tight container.
