I stumbled upon an easy and yummilious recipe from one of my favourite food blog "Happy Home Baking". It's called Chocolate Oatmeal Cookie. The ingredients used are much healthier than the normal chocolate cookie. So I decide to get my hands dirty on it. Baked 2 batches (1 for the family and the other for my gym buddies).
Some of my cookies are slightly overbaked (so they are crispier)
I (and the rest of those who consumed my bakes) love the crunch and the taste of the cookies. It is crunchy on the outside and slightly chewy in the center, The walnut, oatmeal & chocolate were a perfect match. Moreover, this cookie uses less butter and sugar. So... it can be eaten without guilt ;-D.
A definite keeper. Here is the recipe.
