Found this somewhere online whilst searching for a recipe for the soft American cookies like the ones Millies sell. Most of them wanted strange American ingredients, but this one looked perfect so I gave it a go... Bingo!! They turn out all soft and lovely. Just like mama used to make 'em

Makes about 25-30

Ingredients
100g rolled oats or oatmeal
125g plain flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/2 tsp salt
50g bar milk chocolate, grated (or just break up in the food processor)
100g butter at room temp
100g soft dark brown sugar
100g caster sugar
1 large egg
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
115g choc chips

1. Preheat oven to Gas Mark 5
2. Whiz up the oats in a food processor to break up into a fine(ish) powder, then add the flour, baking powder, bicarb of soda, salt and grated chocolate and whiz again to combine.
3. Pour the dry ingredients into a bowl, then cream together the butter and sugars in the processor.
4. Beat the vanilla essence and egg in a cup, then beat into the sugar/butter mixture.
5. Add the dry ingredients and choc chips and mix thoroughly.
6. Roll into balls the size of ping pong balls and place 2" apart on a greased baking tray (don't flatten them).
7. Bake for 10 mins. They should be golden in colour but still look a little underdone - this is what gives them their lovely chewy soft texture.

Enjoy whilst still warm with a glass of milk, YUM!!!

They really don't look like much, but they are soooooo yummy. The mixture is most excellent too, so make sure you thoroughly lick the bowl out.

I added 2 tbsp of cocoa powder to this batch and took out the vanilla essence. I also ran out of chocolate chips, so I just chopped up 100g of dark chocolate bar that I had left over from making a chocolate cake.
