Better Than Blue Chip Cocaine Cookies

  *Salima, this one's for you. Better than Blue Chip and until now, strictly classified. The pictures here don't really do justice.

Ingredients

0.5 cup butter/margarine
0.5 cup packed brown sugar
0.25 cup white sugar
1 egg
0.5 tsp vanilla
1 cup flour
0.5 tsp baking soda
0.25 tsp salt
1.5 cups oatmeal
0.75 cup hazlenuts (or walnuts)
0.5-0.75 cup pure dairy milk chocolate


Add the butter, brown sugar and white sugar into a bowl, and cream together. Mix in egg and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking soda, salt and oatmeal.

Break the chocolate into little pieces using a knife, or by smashing it against a counter. Add the pieces of chocolate and hazlenuts to the mix. Stir in.

Wilde Oscar says: the key to excellent cocaine cookies the quality of the chocolate. The better quality milk chocolate you can find, the better these'll turn out. Forget about baking chocolate. don't even think about chocolate chips. Cadbury's milk chocolate bars work well, but if you can get your hands on good french or german chocolate, that'd probably be best.


Scoop out the dough onto a greased cookie pan, and top with each cookie with another piece of chocolate. Slide into oven (preheated to 160 C).

Bake for ~12 minutes.


Wilde Oscar says: Salima, if you still find these too thin or not of the right texture, you might give baking powder a shot instead of baking soda. They sometimes rise up a bit thicker like that.


A story: Once upon a time there was a girl who came across a magical recipe for cocaine cookies. She was cheap and used chocolate chips instead of real chocolate. The next day on the way to her grandmother's house, she fell into an open pot hole. True story. The moral is pretty clear: to avoid tragedy, use proper chocolate.
