Chocolate & Oatmeal Biscuits.
I'm
not sure where i originally found this recipe. I came across it at the weekend
written down in an old hardback book i used to carry around to record recipes
and shopping lists & thought i would try it out. It's a ridiculously
simple recipe with great results; nice & crunchy with a really chocolaty feel,
you're better off making a double batch. You could also try dipping half of
them in some melted chocolate to make them extra special.
Ingredients:
112g
butter
84g
caster sugar
112g
plain flour
28g
coco powder
28g
medium oats
2-3
drops of vanilla essence
Method:
Turn your oven to 175
degrees or the equivalent & lightly grease your baking tray.
Cream the butter and sugar
together until light & fluffy, carefully sift in the plain flour
& coco powder, add the oats & vanilla essence and mix together
until it forms a fairly stiff dough.
Lightly dust your work
surface and roll out the dough until it's about 5mm thick. Using a circular
cookie cutter cut out each biscuit, place on your baking tray & bake
for 10 - 12 minutes, make sure you check them half way through to make sure
they aren't burning at the edges.
Remove from the oven, leave on the baking
tray for a couple of minutes before removing and placing on fooling rack until
cooled.
They will keep for around five days in a well sealed tin.
