It’s tough getting people to be involved in things. Or it’s
tough to get people excited about being involved in something.
I’m a part of the PTA and this last Friday we held a Quiz
Night for the parents as a fund-raiser for some new out door equipment.
It was a great night out! The entertainment and food were
provided, but we could bring our own snacks and drinks.
I like having wine night with my girls and the occasional
cocktail when I’m out, but overall I’m not much of a drinker. So, I brought
milk and cookies to the Quiz Night!
As I’m still trying to use what I already have in my over
flowing baking cupboard; I used up some dried cherries, left over chocolate
chips, and rolled oats to make these cookies.
They were a hit, I passed them around so I could look at
other peoples sheets on the celebrity before-they-were-famous picture round… we
couldn’t get #10. No one else had it… boo.
We did come in 3rd place! No real thanks to me
I’m rubbish at British general knowledge.
I should just stick to baking cookies. These turned out
great! They held up well when dunked in milk. The dried cherries and chocolate
chips gave it a great sweet and sour twist! Enjoy!
Cherry & Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies:
170g unsalted butter, softened
320g light brown sugar
1 egg, medium
4 tbsp (60ml) sunflower oil
250g plain flour
½ tsp bicarb of soda
150g rolled oats
75g dried cherries
180g dark chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas4 and line two baking
sheets with greaseproof paper. Beat the butter and sugar together until light
and fluffy. Add the egg and oil, mix until combined before sifting in the flour
and bicarb. Add the oats and mix well, then add the cherries and chocolate
chips and fold them in until fully combined. Roll the cookies into balls and
place unto the prepared baking sheets, gently press each ball with the palm of
your hand to flatten slightly.
Bake for about 20 minutes, switching shelves and rotating
half way through baking.
They sound yummy!
