I was craving for sweets the other day and since I cannot eat oatmeal solo, I always incorporate it in some other recipes that need a cup or two of rolled oats. I have to source the net to find something simple to make and I came up with this recipe. It was moist and yummy though but I told Josef it is better baked as bars than cookies. Will try it some other time.
And these are the ingredients which as usual, I tweaked a bit. I don’t really dig sweet cookies so I always lessen the sugar. These are the original ingredients though, it’s up to you to adjust everything if you want to try it.
You will need:
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 stick butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips ( I omitted this)
Preheat oven to 375 °F or 175 °C. Grease cookie sheets. Stir together flour, cocoa, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown and white sugar. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Stir in the dry ingredients using a hand mixer. Spoon into the greased cookie sheet leaving at least two inches in between cookies. Bake for about 10 minutes. Let cool.
they look great!

How much salt?
Also, what do you mean by hand mixer ? Mix by hand using a wooden spoon ? Ot do I use the same electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar?

Hi! A pinch of salt will do. I use a portable electric hand mixer Ren, good enough to cream butter and sugar into the dough but be sure that the butter is softened for easier mixing.
