Cereal - one of my many obsessions. I am like a cereal junkie, I can eat cereal for the whole day, for the whole week. Sometimes I like to eat cereal out of the box, other times I like to mix cereal with nuts and dried fruits. I like to use just enough milk to mix with cereal, making sure the cereal is well soaked with liquid without any trace of milk in the bottom of the bowl.
I love all cereal related stuff - oatmeal, granola, muesli.. basically I can always substitue lunch and dinner with breakfast food... probably it is the chewy and crunchy texture that I get addicted to. It may sound bland to most people, but I just love kids' food.
Out of all the cookies breed, chewy oatmeal cookies can be the easiest thing to make on earth. I don't think you really need the exact measurement for all the ingredients, you can always mix and match different elements to customize the flavor.. the failure rate can be as low as 5%, unless you really suck at using the oven or too bad of eye sight to read the scale. There's no reason the homemade cookies are not edible or even doesn't taste good.
This is a classic oatmeal cookies with cranberries recipe. I always convince myself that this is healthy food with lots of fiber and vitamins so that I wouldn't feel guilty of eating the whole batch. I can't stop myself tearing up the irregular shapes or ugly ones hence ended up devouring most of the batch..
what you need:
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 oz unsalted butter at room temperature
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 2/3 cups oatmeal
1/2 cup dried cranberries
How to proceed:
Preheat the oven to 190c.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Mix in the brown sugar, then the egg, and vanilla.
Stir in the dry ingredients, then the oats and cranberries.
Drop the batter by rounded teaspoons 2-inches apart on the baking sheets and use a fork to gently flatten the dough.
Bake the cookies for 12 minutes.
