I was going to visit a friend and bake these for her as she loves chocolate but needs to eat healthier. However, I have been feeling under the weather so we couldn't meet but I decided to bake these cookies anyway! They can be a trial run!
Ingredients
75g Unsalted Butter
100g Soft Light Brown Sugar
25ml Olive Oil (I used rapeseed oil because I didn't have olive oil and I couldn't be bothered to go the shops)
2 Eggs
100g Wholemeal Flour
100g Plain Four
50g Milk Chocolate Chips
25g Rolled Oats
1 Tsp Baking Powder
1/4 Tsp Bicarb of Soda
25g Cocoa Powder
Recipe
1) Preheat the oven to 190c - 170c for fan/375f/gas mark 5 and line a baking sheet with baking parchment.
2)Put the butter and sugar into a bowl and cream everything together. Add the olive oil and eggs and mix together well. It looks totally gross and very weird but it is fine! Add the wholemeal flour, plain, flour, chocolate chips, oats, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder and mix it all together. The mixture should be stiff, but slightly sticky.
3) Using damp hands, roll the mixture into 12 equal sized balls, placing them on the baking sheet slightly spaced apart as you go. Squish them down to about 1cm in thickness with the palm of your hand.
4)Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 mins until soft to the touch, but cooked through. Once ready, remove from the oven and leave to cool a little. They will be very soft when they come out of the oven, but will firm up on cooling. Carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely (although these are actually most delicious when warm).
Im really pleased with these cookies! They are very yummy and perfect with a cup of tea! They are not the normal texture, they are very soft and not very crunchy - partly due to the oats but they are still delicious non the less! This is an easy bake, makes 12 cookies - each cookie contains 200kcal.
