Chewy Oatmeal Cookie

Last night after watching my 'Korean drama' kelam kabut masak for dinner. Mr hubby nak balik mana taknya hehehe wifey sibuk nonton tv tapi siap jugak masakan ku by the time dia sampai rumah! After that terlebih rajin terus buat cookie, I love cookies yang ada nuts and oat or bran, lain dari the normal cookie yang selalu makan, mungkin di U S cookie ni biasa dah tapi di Malaysia tak ramai yang minat tambahan pulak ia sedikit chewy. Recipe from my favorite Miss Anna Olson, I like watching her in Sugar from Food Network, tengok je dessert dia rasa tak sabar nak masak macam dia! Hehehe berangan laaaa.....

Ingredients

• 10 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 3/4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (not instant)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup whole wheat flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips, raisins, chopped walnuts, coconut or any combination

Method

1. Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper
2. Melt butter in a sauté pan over medium heat until bubbling subsides and butter browns, about 5 minutes. Strain butter through a coffee filter and cool to room temperature.
3. Beat butter with brown sugar, sugar and egg until smooth. Stir in vanilla. In a separate bowl, stir oats, flours, cinnamon, baking soda and salt to combine. Add oat mixture to butter mixture and blend. Stir in choice of chocolate chips, raisins, walnuts, and/or coconut. Drop by spoonfuls onto prepared tray and bake in the center of oven for about 12 minutes, until browned. Let cool for 5 minutes, then gently remove from tray onto a rack to cool completely.

It’s important that the butter has cooled completely, otherwise the cookies will spread too much when they bake The melted butter is my little trick to a truly chewy oatmeal cookie
