Fatally Flaky Cookies – The Peasant Version

By LimericksLady

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 3/4 brown sugar, packed
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
• 1 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 1 egg
• 2 tsp pure vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. Melt butter in a pan over low heat. Add sugar. Stir until mixture bubbles, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool while you mix the other ingredients.

In large bowl, combine cocoa, oats, flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl beat together the egg and vanilla. Add to oat mixture and then add the cooled butter mixture. Stir well.

Using a 1-tablespoon ice-cream scoop, measure out the batter onto cookie sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes or until cookies are completely cooked. Allow to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer to cooling racks.

Layer with ice cream or vanilla frosting. Makes about a dozen sandwiched cookies.
