Chewy Chocolate Bar Cookies

Sometimes a simple chocolate chip cookie isn't enough. Even a triple chocolate jobby just wont cut the mustard. It's these moments that we call upon the humble chocolate bar to fill that all-the-sugar-in-the-world-won't-be-enough-craving. And then what do we do with it? Chuck it in a cookie with a couple its friends to really make things interesting. Today i've gone for Mars and Milky-Way for some molten caramel goodness, but you can choose what you like, go wild - add some marshmallows! 

Here's what you'll need: 

110g butter
55g caster sugar
110g dark brown sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
150g flour
a pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder 
90g rolled oats 
3-4 normal sized chocolate bars of your choice 
(I used two of each; Mars and Milky Way) 

Now, what to do:

Pop your butter, sugars, vanilla and egg into a bowl and beat together until lighter in colour and creamy. Next reduce the speed and add your flour until just combined. Stir through the oats and chocolate bar morsels. Chill your dough for about 30 minutes. Take out of the fridge and use an ice cream scoop divide your mixture evenly. Bake in the oven at 190°C for 9-10 minutes until browned at the edges. Leave to firm up on the tray for a few minutes and transfer to a cooling rack. If you can bare it, leave to cool otherwise beware of the molten caramel - it will be hot!

There perfect snack to satisfy your sugar craving. and, if you're crazy and don't feel like baking them all at once the mixture will keep in the fridge for a few days or can be frozen in scoops ready for a cookie fix whenever you need it!
