Coffee oatmeal cookies

There’s something special about the combination of a fresh cup of coffee and a delicious, homemade cookie. Today we’re sharing a recipe for coffee oatmeal cookies, a tasty treat that pairs perfectly with the rich and aromatic coffee brewed by your Moccamaster. These cookies are not only delightful but also simple to make, and they are ideal to enjoy with a cup of coffee.

Ingredients for the cookies:

• 1 cup oatmeal
• 1 cup flour (you can choose whole wheat or plain flour)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh, strong Moccamaster coffee
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate

Optional:

• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)
• 1/4 cup raisins

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven: Remove the baking tray from the oven and line it with baking paper. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. Brew coffee with your Moccamaster: Brew a strong cup of coffee using your Moccamaster by using more coffee than water. Let it cool, and use about 2 tablespoons of this coffee in the cookie batter.
3. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the oatmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Cream the butter and sugar: In another bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and freshly brewed coffee. Mix well until you have a smooth mixture.
5. Add the dry ingredients: Gradually add the oatmeal mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix until well combined.
6. Add chocolate and optional ingredients: Stir in the chocolate, chopped nuts, and raisins (if using) into the batter.
7. Shape the cookies: Use a tablespoon to scoop the dough onto the prepared baking tray. Leave enough space between the cookies, as they will spread while baking.
8. Bake the cookies: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centres remain soft.
9. Let cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the tray before transferring them to a rack to cool completely.
