Suitable for vegetarians
Ingredients:
100g/3 1/2 oz rolled oats 125g/4 1/2 oz plain flour 1/2 teasthingy bicarbonate of soda 1/2 teasthingy baking powder 1/2 teasthingy salt 50g/2oz bar milk chocolate 100g/3 1/2 oz butter at room temperature 100g/3 1/2 oz soft dark brown sugar 100g/3 1/2 oz caster sugar 1 large egg 1/2 teasthingy vanilla essence 115g/4oz chocolate chips
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 190°C/375°F/gas mark 5 2. Measure oats into a food processor or liquidiser. Whiz to a fine powder. 3. Add flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and salt and whizz to mix. 4. Add grated chocolate (or throw the bar in and whiz again). 5. Pour the dry ingredients into a bowl, while you cream the butter with both sugars. Beat the egg and vanilla together in a cup, and then beat into the creamed butter mixture. 6. Add chocolate chips, and dry ingredients, mix well. 7. Roll into balls the size of ping-pong balls and place them 5cm apart on a baking tray. 8. Cover the tray with non-stick baking paper, if you have that sort of tray. 9. Bake for about ten minutes. They should have a golden colour, but still look a little underdone (this is what makes the lovely chewy soft texture). 10. If you like them crisp, keep them in a bit longer. But they won't be as good.
Eat them while still warm, preferably in bed. Then start over again.
