another recipe for the collection
a modified version of cashew nut crunch from alex goh joy of making cookies
less sugar, no nuts, more oats and more chocolate =)

150 g butter
40 g brown sugar
70 g sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
(B)
1 egg
(C)
140 g flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
(D)
50 g rolled oats
100 g dark chocolate chopped coarsely*
(70 g cashew nuts if desired)

*i would recommened using high quality dark chocolate.
try using carefour dark chocoloate. RM 8.50 for a twin pack (200gx2) its made in
france =)


method..
1. beat (A) in the mixer until light & fluffy.add in (B) and cream until smooth
2. Add in sieved (C) and mix till well blended. then add in (D) and mix till well incorporated
3. using a spoon, drop a spoonful of dough into a greased/ lined baking tray. flatten slightly. leave approx 3cm apart (will expand alot!)
4. bake at 170 degrees celcius for 17-20 minutes

**cookies may be soft when it is just removed from the oven, so let it cool down first before removing from the tray, when it cools, it will be nice and crunchy =)


remember to leave space between dough to allow it to expand

store cookie in air-tight container when it its completely cooled,if not cookies will become soft.
if cookies do become soft, you can re-bake in the oven at low heat for 3-5 minutes

happy baking
