Oaty Chocolate Biscuits recipe

This recipe yields some lovely and chewy chocolate chip cookies that have a wonderfully soft texture. Use whatever chocolate chips you have to hand, although white chocolate chips are absolutely lovely.

Ingredients:

• 250g softened butter
• 250g porridge oats
• 175g chocolate chips
• 150g plain flour
• 200g light brown sugar
• 75g caster sugar
• 125g chopped walnuts
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• Pinch of salt

Method of Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 170C.

2. Cream together the butter, brown sugar and caster sugar. Beat in the eggs one at a time, and then stir in the vanilla extract.

3. Sieve in the flour, baking powder and salt, and then stir in the oats, walnuts and chocolate chips. Once combined, drop by the spoonful onto baking trays.

4. Bake the biscuits for 12 minutes, making sure to leave enough space between the biscuits for them to spread out.

5. Leave to cool before removing from the baking trays.

You could add all sorts of spices to this cookie dough, such as cinnamon, cloves and ginger. You could also substitute the chocolate chips for raisins or sultanas.
