Ingredients




90 grams butter, softened at room temperature
25 grams caster sugar
25 grams brown sugar
1 egg (weights about 60g with shell), lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
100 grams plain flour
100 grams oatmeal or roll oats (I used organic instant baby oat)
20 grams dark (semi-sweet) chocolate, finely chopped
50 grams walnuts, chopped
60 grams mini chocolate chips

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 190degC. Line baking trays with parchment paper. 2 With a manual whisk, cream butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until the mixture turns pale and fluffy. 3 Dribble in the egg gradually. Mix well after each addition. Add in salt and vanilla extract, mix to incorporate into the batter. 4 Sift the flour over the batter, fold in with a spatula. 5 Add oatmeal, chopped chocolate, walnuts and mini chocolate chips. Mix well with the spatula. 6 Drop tablespoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking tray. Leave some space between the cookies to allow for spreading. Flatten each cookie dough slightly with the back of a fork, keeping the shape as even as possible. 7 Bake for 8~10 mins or until golden. If necessary, rotate the baking tray halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in air-tight containers.
