- Ready In:
- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 10
- Yields:
-
36 cookies
ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla (real vanilla is wonderful in this!)
- 1 cup chocolate chips
directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Cream the butter, sugar and molasses together in a stand mixer. Beat until well combined and ‘creamy’. If you don’t have a stand mixer beat vigorously by hand in a large mixing bowl. Add the egg and vanilla to the butter mixture and continue beating until well combined.
- Meanwhile whisk the flour, oats, salt, baking powder and salt together in a separate bowl.
- Gradually add the flour mix to the wet mixture, beating just until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
- Using a tablespoon scoop out a ball of the dough and drop onto a lightly greased cookie tray. Flatten slightly. Repeat, leaving lots of room in between the balls for the cookies to expand. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Cool for ten minutes then remove from the tray and try to eat only one!

This recipe produces a crisp and tough cookie, not a tender crisp cookie. If I were to approximate this recipe again, I would decrease sugar by 1/4 and increase the flour by 1/4 and replace 1/2 or all the baking powder with baking soda. Would bake at 350° to attempt a crisp cookie without over-baking. Cooled cookies packed in the cookie tin overnight just get harder.

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
