Classic American cookies with chocolate, nuts and oats - a proven recipe by Kim Verbuff.

Ingredients

  • 2¼ cups flour (approx. 250g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup butter (250g)
  • ¾ cup sugar (150g)
  • ¾ cup brown raw sugar (150g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla or 1 packet vanilla sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (or whatever you like!)
  • 1 cup nuts (as desired)
  • ¼ cup oats (25g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C.
  2. Mix together butter, sugar, vanilla and eggs.
  3. Add flour, baking powder and salt, then stir in chocolate chips, nuts and oats.

Shaping

  • Option 1: Use two spoons to place small mounds on the baking sheet
  • Option 2: Form rolls from the mixture. If you have time, you can chill these in the refrigerator to make them easier to slice.
  1. Bake for 10-15 minutes at 190°C.

Tips

  • Cookies are done when edges are lightly golden
  • Don’t overbake - they’ll firm up more as they cool
  • Chilling the dough rolls makes slicing much easier
  • Chocolate and nuts can be varied according to taste
