Best. Cookie. Ever. and other assorted brilliance.
I present the best Oatmeal, Cranberry Chocolate Chip Cookie.
They are crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle. The cranberries present a lovely tang when balanced against the dark chocolate and the brown sugar dough. Not too many chips or craisins and the oats aren't all up in your grill, either. They are in a word, perfection. Don't you want some? You do? Okay, here's the recipe:
Oat Chocolate Chip Craisin Cookies by me.
2 sticks butter
1 c. dark brown sugar
1/2 c. castor sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp good vanilla extract
1 1/2 c. AP flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 c. rolled oats
1 - 1 1/2 c. chopped dark chocolate or dark chocolate chips
3/4 c. craisins (dried, sweetened cranberries)
ovens at 350 f please.
cream butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until just combined.
In theory, you should sift the dry, but I never do. Mix in flour, salt and soda until a good dough forms. Fold in oats, chips and craisins.
Bake 15-18 minutes, depending on your oven. They tend to burn quickly, so watch the first tray or two. Cool on a rack and eat!
But what to store these little treats in? Oh, I know!! An awesome cookie jar that I smuggled back from the UK in my suitcase. How could a cookie jar be awesome you may ask? Because its a retro, ceramic (not that cheap, plastic crap you see making the rounds), Dr. Who TARDIS cookie jar - hell yeah! And it was only a tenner! Bask in it's glory, internets!
