Ingredients

500g butter

1 cup (250ml) brown sugar

1 cup white sugar

2 large eggs

2 tsp salt

2 tbs vanilla extract

3 cups plain flour

1 cup oats (powdered in a mixer)

500g dark chocolate (80% if possible)

Walnuts - if you want

Preparation

Cream butter and sugar till light and fluffy.

Add eggs, salt and vanilla. Beat.

Add flour and oats (which you’ve powdered in a mixer).

Break chocolate into chunks - and add to mix (with walnuts if you want).

Refrigerate till hard.

Mould into tall obelisks - about 2 golf-balls worth per cookie - and place on a baking tray.

Bake at 180 degrees celsius (350F) until golden. About 10-15 mins.

Remove and cool.

Serve either warm or refrigerated. (They’re not as good when at room-temperature.)
