Urban Legend Chocolate Chip Cookies

The cookies get their unique texture from the ground oats. They bake up to an attractive golden-brown tint with lightly crackled tops and are filled with chocolate chips and shaved milk chocolate. They’re just sweet and chocolaty enough to satisfy your yearning for a treat.

Ingredients

  • 100 g milk chocolate bar shaved
  • 2 cups rolled oats processed to a fine texture in a food processor
  • 1 cup 2 sticks butter, softened to room temperature
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup lightly packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • ¾ cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare 3 large baking sheets by lining with parchment paper.
  2. Place the chocolate bar in the freezer for at least 10 minutes. Using the small holes of a box grater, grate the cold chocolate bar onto a piece of parchment paper. Set aside.
  3. Process the rolled oats in a food processor by pulsing a couple of times until the oats are finely chopped.
  4. In large mixing bowl with a spatula (or with a mixer with the paddle attachment), cream together butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat to achieve a creamy texture.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine the processed oats, all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and chocolate chips.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients mixture to the wet mixture in the large bowl. Mix until all dry ingredients are incorporated. Dough will be very thick.
  7. Gently fold in the reserved grated chocolate making sure it is incorporated into all of the dough.
  8. Drop tablespoonfuls of dough 2” apart on prepared baking sheets arranging 12 cookies per baking sheet. Bake one sheet at a time for 10 – 12 minutes or until lightly golden.
  9. Remove from oven and allow cookies to set on cookie sheet for 2 minutes before removing cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
