Super yummy writing food.
I came across this last year while making Christmas presents for the relatives and it’s quickly become one of my favourites.
It’s ridiculously easy and quick to make, and the best part, you can switch out the fillings to make different cookies! I’m think my next batch are going to be triple chocolate marshmallow cookies.
Awesome Cookies
They’re quick, they’re easy, they’re delicious, they’re totally awesome cookies!! Plus, you can add any filling you’d like.
Dry ingredients
- 3/4 cup plain flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/4 cup sugar (castor or other fine-grained sugar)
- 1/3 to 1 cup filling (sultanas, chopped nuts, chocolate chips, etc)
Wet ingredients
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 egg (beaten)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
-
Preheat over to 190ºC.
-
Add all of the dry ingredients in a medium or large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
-
Mix in the melted butter, vanilla and beaten egg. The dough should come together enough to form into balls. If it doesn’t, add milk a dribble at a time until you can.
-
Line a baking tray with baking/greaseproof paper.
-
Roll dough into 1-inch (golf-sized) balls and place 2 inches apart on tray. The cookies will spread during cooking and will merge if you place them too close together. If they do, don’t worry, you can gently separate them with a knife when they come out of the oven.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned.
-
Remove from oven. At this stage, the cookies are still soft and you can easily separate any merged ones with a knife, just don’t try to move them yet!
-
Let the cookies cool for 5-10 minutes before eating.
Cookie Variants
The best thing about this recipe is how adaptable it is. Chuck in a 1/3 cup M&Ms for delicious chocolatey-ness or, my personal favourite: 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts, 1/4 cup raisins, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon & 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg. Yum!
