Meet our latest homemade craze...aptly christened Chocolate Chewies by the kiddo, these chewy and yummy creations take only 45 minutes from prep to consumable cookie and use no flour.
Recipe inspiration here.
Our slightly adapted version:
- 4oz (1 stick) butter - cut into 3-4 pieces
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3/4 cup sugar (I've gone as low as 1/2 cup but the one time that I used a very dark Lindt chocolate bar, a cup of sugar was a better bet)
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla (I usually add a dash more because I'm silly that way lol)
- 3 cups quick-cook oatmeal
Steps:
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment or wax paper
- Place the first three ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to boil, stirring frequently
- While mixture is heating up, combine the chocolate chips, oatmeal and vanilla in a mixing bowl
- Once the mixture on the stove hits a rolling boil, set your timer for a minute for it to boil fully
- Pour hot liquid mixture into chocolate-oatmeal bowl
- Stir quickly and well to mix
- Drop by tablespoonfuls onto parchment paper
- Freeze for 30 minutes or let it set in the fridge for about 1.5 hours
Enjoy! :) Psst...they don't last very long in our home but you should be able to store them in the fridge or freezer for at least a week, me thinks. Don't quote me on this one though.
DD would love this! She loves chocolate and oatmeal so this is perfect. She rarely gets chocolate treats. She will be even more thrilled that she can make her own. Thanks for the recipe!
