Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 2 min.
Traditional nutty choc-chip cookies
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C)

Spread 150 g rolled oats on a sheet of cooking parchment laid on a baking sheet.

Stage 2 - 4 min.
Traditional nutty choc-chip cookies
Do the same with 40 g pecan nuts and 40 g flakeds almonds.

Stage 3 - 15 min.
Traditional nutty choc-chip cookies
Toast in the oven for 15 minutes.

Leave to cool (this will be quicker if you slip the baking sheet out from underneath, but keep it handy as you'll need it for stage 12).

Turn the oven up to 370°F (190°C).

Stage 4 - 3 min.
Traditional nutty choc-chip cookies
Roughly chop the cooled pecan nuts.

Set aside.

Stage 5 - 2 min.
Traditional nutty choc-chip cookies
Whisk 75 g egg in a high-sided container.

Stage 6 - 4 min.
Traditional nutty choc-chip cookies
Put 130 g brown sugar and 160 g butter in a mixer bowl.

Stage 7 - 2 min.
Traditional nutty choc-chip cookies
Use the flat or "K" beater and knead for 1 or 2 minutes until evenly mixed.

Stage 8 - 5 min.
Traditional nutty choc-chip cookies
Add all the other ingredients (oats, almonds, pecans, baking powder, chocolate chips, eggs and flour).

Stage 9 - 4 min.
Traditional nutty choc-chip cookies
Knead for a few more minutes until evenly mixed.

Stage 10 - 8 min.
Traditional nutty choc-chip cookies
Take the dough out of the bowl and divide into approx. 40 g (one and a half ounce) pieces.

Stage 11 - 5 min.
Traditional nutty choc-chip cookies
Roll the pieces of dough betwen your hands into nice round balls.

Note: this is the part children enjoy best. If they are helping you make these, you may well hear something like, "This is cool, just like playdough!"

Stage 12 - 5 min.
Traditional nutty choc-chip cookies
Reuse the paper and baking sheets from stage 3. Squash out the balls of dough on the cooking parchment with the palm of your hand into flat cookies, slightly thicker in the centre.

Bake for about 20 minutes.

Stage 13 - 20 min.
Traditional nutty choc-chip cookies
Do watch towards the end of cooking. It is important not to overcook these cookies.

Ideally, they should be crisp and golden brown around the edge, but still soft in the centre.

Stage 14 - 30 min.
Traditional nutty choc-chip cookies
Take off the paper and leave to cool on a wire rack.

Your cookies are ready. The only difficulty now is resisting the temptation to eat them all right away!
Remarks
Once the basic dough is made at stage 9, you can let your imagination guide you and (for example) use walnuts instead of almonds, muesli instead of oats, raisins or dried apricots instead of chocolate. Everything is possible (or nearly).

You can use bicarbonate of soda instead of the baking powder.

Before baking you can glaze the raw cookies at stage 12, but this is not essential.
Keeping
Several days in an airtight tin.
