Oatmeal Caramel Crunchies.


A great cookie to snack on.
You think it's quite healthy, well except for all the sugar...
Anywho, it has this great caramelly taste after baking. 
Delightful.

Add some spices to make it more seasonal.

Oatmeal Caramel Crunchies

100g butter (or margarine)
100g light brown sugar
100g dark brown sugar
1 egg (or 1 Tbsp. soy flour plus 1 1/2 Tbsp. water)
1 tsp. vanilla extrakt
50g flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
200g quick-oats

Melt butter.
Let cool slightly.
Add sugars and mix thoroughly.
Add egg (or soy mix) and vanilla and mix well.
Now add the flour, baking soda and salt and incorporate. 
Lastly, add the quick-oats and mix.
Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap ( 4-5cm in diameter. Watch out, it will be a little crumbly!) and chill for at least one hour.
Preheat the oven to 175 degrees celsius.
Cut into 1-5 to 2 cm thick slices and place on a baking tray.
Bake for around 12-13 minutes, or until the cookies have colored and risen slightly.
Be careful not to overbake them - they should still look slightly undercooked in the middle.
Remove from the oven and let cool.
