Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
Would you like a cuppa? It's a common welcome greeting when you visit a friend's place which means "Would you like to have a cup of coffee or tea or something to drink?" in Australian slang lingo. Yes, I would like to have coffee or tea, but I prefer to have them with something sweet and healthy. Of course, a cuppa would be nice with cookies right? Don't you think it's a perfect combination? I love cookies, I think it is one of the foods that gives me comfort. Other than that, cookies are good travel companions and so much fun to make. Oh I love cookies! Would you like some today?

Here's my mother's original recipe of a yummy and healthy chocolate oatmeal cookies.
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups rolled oats
250 grams butter
1 cup self raising flour
1 cup sugar (you can reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup, depending on your preference)
1 tablespoon vanilla flavoring
3 eggs
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup walnut or almonds (optional)
1tsp mixed spice
Method:
Melt the butter, add sugar and vanilla flavoring. In separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, self-raising flour, and mixed spice. Add eggs and stir them until the eggs are evenly mixed with the dry mixture. Combine the butter and sugar mixture and gradually stir them in the rolled oats mixture. Brush a melted butter in the pan. Place the cookie mixture on the greased pan and bake in 200 degrees oven for 20 minutes. Serve with a hot coffee or tea.
