You can never go wrong with a chocolate chip cookie. I love these ones as they satisfy my sweet tooth and need for a treat with my nightly cuppa while also fooling me in to thinking they are wholesome with the oats. Cranberries balance them out with a little tartness, but dried apricots will work too!
125g butter, softened
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup rolled oats
½ cup cranberries
125g dark chocolate chips
Cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla.
Add the flour, baking powder and rolled oats and mix these in with a wooden spoon. Finally, mix in the cranberries and chocolate.
Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into balls and place on a lined baking tray, 2–3cms apart.
Bake at 180°C for 10–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
