Oaty Gooey Choc-Chip Cookies!

These fantastic cookies were a bit of a hotch-potch of a creation but created a great gooey goodness. After looking at various recipes I decided to bring together the many that I found which, when combined, created the ultimate in comfort food! ( Tea dunking recommended!)

Ingredients:
Makes 20

255g self raising flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
170g softened butter
150g brown sugar
40g oats
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
200g chocolate chips (white/dark/milk is fine- I used white because I have an incredibly sweet tooth!)
2tbs syrup
50ml milk


Method:
Prep 10 mins Cooking 15-17 mins
1. Grease cookie baking sheets.
2. Cream together the butter and sugar and beat in the vanilla, syrup, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy.
3. Sift in the flour and salt; mix in the oats until blended well and stir in the chocolate chips by hand!
4. Drop the cookie dough onto the baking sheets, about a tablespoon at a time, and press down with the back of a spoon to form a rough circle shape. (Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.)
5. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes at 165C regular oven; Gas mark 3 or until the edges are lightly toasted.

Enjoy warm from the oven with a cuppa!
