Pecan Oatmeal Choc Chip Cookies

A friend of mine from my secondary school, June, gave me a great recipe for a basic choc chip cookie recently. Choc chip cookies are what even an amateur cook will be able to bake. I mean its such a basic recipe. But to some, like me, I like my cookies soft and chewy in the center and crispy on the outside and to get a perfect texture in a cookie like that is not easy. I tried Martha Stewart's recipe but my cookies turned out flat like pancakes! Literally - I'm not exaggerating. So when June had posted in her FB account her recently baked choc chip cookies and they all looked like my preferred version, I immediately requested her recipe. Thanks darling - its a very simple quick recipe even kids can attempt!

​I was very surprised that it didn't involve any creaming of butter and sugar or whipping. There was just a lot of mixing which is my fav kind of recipes :) But I did reduce the sugar and the choc chips to suit my family's tastebuds. And because I like texture in my cookies, I added oats and pecans. 

Ingredients (around 30 cookies)
​Ingredients A
​1 cup melted butter
1/2 tbsp vanilla essence
​2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup brown sugar

Ingredients B
​3 cups plain flour
​1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup chopped pecans
​1 cup semi-sweet choc chips 

Method
​1) Mix all the ingredients A and whisk them well.

2) Then, add in all the dry ingredients B. Mix together.

3) Use a 1 tbsp measuring spoon to scoop out and place the cookie dough in rows of 3 on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper.

4) Bake in a preheated oven at 180 deg C for 20-25 mins. 

5) Enjoy soft chewy healthier choc chip cookies!
