Chocolate chip and oat cookies are deliciously light with a soft centre. They are easy to make and are far better than any shop bought cookies I have tried.
Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl.
Add the egg, vanilla essence, oats, flour, baking powder and chocolate chips and mix well.
Place a sheet of non stick baking parchment on a baking tray.
Form cookie shapes by hand, about 3cm diameter, and place on the baking tray, leaving a space between each cookie.
Bake in batches the centre of the oven at 180°C, 350°F, gas mark 4 until they start to turn golden at the edges (about 10 minutes). Turn the tray around part way through the cooking time.
