Oat Cookies

My daughter made these in school and said they were nice so I decided to try for myself.

50g butter
50g plain flour
125g caster sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
175g oats
125g of anything else you want.
Oven 180c

The original recipe uses cherries, I used dark chocolate. Nuts and raisins would work well too.

Cream sugar and butter
Gradually add egg
Sift in dry ingredients
Add oats
Heap spoonful's onto tray allowing for the cookies spreading
Oven 20 mins
Leave to cool

 So here's the mixture. I took the lazy route and used a mixer.  I found there was too much oats so I would put in maybe 125g next time.

 When I am putting chocolate chips into something I chop up a bar of chocolate with some chunks bigger than others. The little bags of chocolate chips you can buy are for wimps and such uniformity has no place in home baking. There's nothing better then finding a big nugget of chocolate when you bite into a cookie.

 Disaster I ran out of baking paper tut tut. I just sprinkled a layer of flour and hoped for the best.
Into the oven they go.

Yikes, giant cookies..... All different sizes..... Sizing and proportion is something I can never get right. I really need to work on this ha ha. Also they stuck.  Baking paper is essential for baking cookies.....and well everything really.  Ok next batch.

Ok I still have portioning and sticking issues but better. As long as they taste ok right?.....RIGHT?

These should come with a warning.  I found them quite addictive but yum. I think I ate about four of them in one day. Now there's none left.
