Wishing all my readers, visitors and friends a Merry Christmas.........


From heart to heart,
From one place to another.

Classic Chocolate Oats Cookies are always a weekend favourite which is crumble quickly and have a soft and melt in the mouth feel with a heavenly chocolate flavor and the oats compliments the chocolate with a bit of crumbly crunch. 



Ingredients:

Oats (I use Quakers) - 1 1/4 cup
All-purpose flour - 1/2 cup
Egg - 1
Powdered sugar - 1 cup
Unsweetened cocoa pwd - 1 1/2 tbsps (adjust according to your taste)
Baking powder - 3/4 tsp
Baking soda - a pinch 
Vanilla essence - 1 tsp 
Refine Oil - 1/2 cup

Method :

Sieve maida, baking powder, baking soda and cocoa powder, keep it aside.

Preheat the oven and keep it ready. Grease the baking tray and dust flour on it.

Blend the sugar, oil and egg beat until smooth.

Now add the flour and the oats to the sugar-oil creamed mixture and fold until well incorporated.

Add vanilla essence and mix well to form a very soft dough. If the dough doesn’t become stiff enough to roll out into balls, add a few tbsp of milk and chill for a few minutes. Be careful when shaping out the dough into small balls, as it does take effort to hold it together to form small balls and slightly flatten them.

Place on a greased tray and bake at 180 C for about 10-12 mts or till done.

Remove from oven and let it cool. Once cooled, they will be perfect.Transfer it to an air tight container.
