Chewy(I promise!) Oatmeal, Raisin and Almond Cookies

I have tried SEVERAL cookie recipes all of which have resulted in crispy cookies and me in a bad mood. I am not a crispy cookie kind of gal, I prefer a cookie with a squidgy soft centre and this recipe definitely delivers!!



Ingredients:(Makes approx 16 cookies)
125g Unsalted Butter, softened
2/3 Cup Light Brown Sugar (Packed Tightly)
1 Large Egg
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
3/4 Cup Flour
1/2 Teaspoon Bicarbonate Soda
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1 1/2 Cups Porridge Oats
3/4 Cup Raisins
1/2 Cup Almonds Chopped








Method:
1. In a stand-up mixer cream the butter, sugar, vanilla and egg together until smooth.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, bicarb soda and salt.
3. Stir the flour into the butter and add the oats, raisins and chopped almonds.
4. Using an ice-cream scoop, scoop the dough onto parchment lined baking trays. The dough should be 2 inches apart.
5. Transfer to a fridge and chill for 15-20 minutes.
CHILLING THE COOKIE DOUGH WILL RESULT IN YOU HAVING A THICKER COOKIE
6.Preheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes-the baking time will differ depending on your oven. The cookies should be golden brown around the edges and a little doughy looking in the centre.
8. Allow to sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to cool on a wire rack.
Delish!!
