Oats and Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love oat cookies as they're a nice change from the regular cookies and they're just as easy to make. They also make a great snack for any time of the day.

Ingredients:

2 cups oats
2 cups flour
1 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt

Method:

In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and the sugars.

Beat in the eggs and the vanilla.

Combine flour, baking soda, and salt separately.

Mix into the egg-butter-sugar mixture.

Mix in the oats and chocolate chips.

Cover and chill in the refrigerator for about an hour.

Scoop the dough onto a cookie sheet. Slightly flatten each scoop.

Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit or gas mark 5 for 10-12 minutes.

Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the cookie sheet.

Allow them to cool completely before transferring them into an airtight container for storage.

Tip: You can replace the white flour with wholemeal flour and the cookies taste just as amazing.
