Oaty Choc Chip Cookies

The whole country has taken up baking during lockdown and if you’re looking for something to occupy the kids this is a super easy recipe to start off with.

I only had soft dark brown sugar (not light brown) so mine are a bit darker than the norm, but they tasted lovely. The original recipe included an additional 100g of granulated white sugar as well, I think they’re plenty sweet enough without but feel free to add it at step 3 if you prefer.

The walnuts are optional. You could add chopped almonds, pecans or hazelnuts, or leave nuts out completely if you prefer.
