Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Happy New Year! This was the second batch of oatey cookies I made. These definitely went down the best out of the three with the younger kids. They were lovely, soft and chewy.

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies (from Iowa Girl Eats)
(Makes 18)

113g butter
113g sugar
50g brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
95g plain flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
100g oats
170g chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 180C. Beat together the butter and sugars in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla then beat until combined.

Sieve the flour, baking powder, and salt into the wet ingredients in 2 batches, mixing until just combined before adding the next batch. Add the oats and chocolate chips then mix together.

Drop 2 tbsp worth of dough onto lined baking sheets then flatten them slightly and bake for 8-12 mins, or until golden brown around the edges and set on top. Tap the baking sheet against a flat surface to deflate cookies then let them cool for 2 mins before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
