Baking cookies is something that I only allow myself on weekends. Preparing the dough, letting it rest and finally, baking the cookies is a process that I like to enjoy. These Oatmeal Cookies They were very simple so I allowed myself the luxury of filling them with chocolate.
What were at first simple oatmeal cookies, thus became much more appetizing sandwich cookies. I could have filled them with other creams, but the chocolate negro It was what he had the most to hand. A perfect snack for a snack, don't you think?
- 130 g. butter at room temperature
- 150 g. brown sugar
- 50 g. white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence or vanilla sugar
- 100 g. oat flakes
- 60 g. pastry flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ half teaspoon of salt
- 150 g. 70% cocoa chocolate
- 150 ml. liquid cream
- We preheat the oven to 180º and line the baking tray with parchment paper.
- We beat the butter with the sugar and the egg.
- Add the vanilla essence and continue beating.
- We add the flakes of crushed oats, flour, bicarbonate, baking powder and salt and mix until all the ingredients are incorporated.
- We form with a few teaspoons balls with the dough and we place them, as we make them, on the trays. We crush them slightly, keeping in mind that there must be a gap of about 4 cm between them so that they do not stick.
- Once we have a tray ready, we put it in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- We take out and we bake 10 minutes until they look slightly golden.
- We let them temper to handle them and place them on a rack to cool completely.
- For make the filling Bring the cream to a boil. Then we remove from the heat and add the chocolate into pieces. Mix until the chocolate melts and let it temper.
- We pour the cream into a bowl, cover it with film and Let it cold down some hours. If it's very hot you can put it in the fridge for a while. If it is too hard and you cannot handle it to fill the cookies, it will be enough for you to let it cool down or give it a microwave blow (a few seconds).
- When the cookies are cold we fill with the cream of chocolate.
