Still, people with a rich imagination the rest of humanity owes much, for example, the recipes listed. There were many varieties of oatmeal baking, everyone was happy until someone had a great idea to make it even better. Cookies made from oatmeal with chocolate chips are so popular that it is a thankless task to argue about its origin. But bake yourself, choosing a recipe for the soul - please!
Oatmeal Cookies with Chocolate - General Cooking Principles
In the preparation of dough for biscuits oatmeal is not used so often, for the most part it is made from flakes. Wheat flour is added in small quantities and not always, it all depends on what kind of cookies you need to get. With the addition of wheat flour, the cookies turn out to be tender and, without it, crispy and crumbly.
What flakes are better to take? In most of the formulations, the type of oatmeal is specifically indicated: “Hercules” or fast cooking. As a rule, the cookies from the Hercules turn out to be coarse, but with a richer taste. From the quickly digestible flakes, the dough comes out more tender.
Virtually all formulations involve the use of butter or margarine. It is worth noting that these fats are interchangeable, it is important that they are natural and high quality. When using a low-quality spread, the cookie may have a specific taste, and the pleasant oatmeal flavor will be overwhelmed by its smell.
Dark or bitter chocolate is almost always added to oatmeal cookies, white only in rare cases, and mainly in combination with coconut chips. Chocolate is chopped and mixed into the dough, it does not have time to melt during baking. On the surface and when breaking a cookie, in the dough there are small pieces of it.
Chocolate Crispy Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients: one egg;
half a cup of sugar;
100 grams of oatmeal;
half a pack of butter;
100% natural high-grade chocolate bar;
150 grams of baking flour;
spoon baking powder;
a quarter of a spoonful of salt “Extra”.
Cooking Method:
Breaking the chocolate bar into squares, then chop them with a knife into smaller pieces. If there is an opportunity to buy chocolate droplets, it is better to take them.
Pour the chocolate chips in a bowl, add flakes, ripper, flour and salt, mix.
Largely rub the butter in a separate dish, it is more convenient to do this if the fat is slightly frozen. Pre-place the butter in the freezer for half an hour.
Pour the egg into the butter, pour out the sugar, rub with a spoon. It should be fray, and not whisk.
As soon as the oily mass becomes homogeneous, lay out a loose mixture to it and knead it thoroughly. It will be difficult to do this, you will have to make an effort to get the most homogeneous mass. You certainly want to add a little liquid or an egg, but do not do it, otherwise the cookie will not be crisp and dry. Stir better.
Starting the oven to heat up to 180 degrees, but the baking sheet is covered with parchment and we put on it a little oil.
Having scooped up an incomplete tablespoon of oatmeal dough, we form it into a ball. Slightly pressing down, spread on a baking sheet. In this way, sculpt all the dough. Please note that during baking, oatmeal dough will creep away, so leave some free space between the cakes, otherwise they stick together.
We bake for 20 minutes, turn off the heat and leave for another ten minutes in a closed oven. The duration of baking depends on the desired size of the cookies and the technical capabilities of the oven, so after a quarter of an hour, more often look into the oven. A cookie is considered ready when its top is reddened well, and the dough is not wet on the break.
