I just came back from Ireland, and I had seen in a market some cakes about the same. So they’re not cookies per se, but rather somewhere between a cookie and a flapjack. The consistency is fluffy and very similar to a flapjack. They are not very sweet and the flavor of the orange and the chocolate combine perfectly. Half a cake is enough to settle the stomach for a snack! But I can’t help it, that’s what I like!
Recipe for a dozen cookies:
- 185g of cane sugar
- 1 egg
- 180g fat (butter or margarine, see below)
- 230g of oatmeal
- 230g of flour T55
- zest of one orange
- 135g of milk chocolate in pieces, chips or chunks
- 60g of milk chocolate for the decoration
Mix the cane sugar, egg and fat. I used Fleurier here because I wanted a very flapjack feel with a very particular consistency. I took this brand because it is a mixture of butter and margarine, but you can very well put only butter!
You must obtain a cream.
Add flour and oats.
Mix and add the milk chocolate. I have here Cacao Barry chocolate prices.
Add the orange zest.
Mix well.
Make 95g balls and flatten by hand.
Bake at 160°C for 17 minutes.
They remain fairly white and not overcooked in the center. It’s normal!
Melt the chocolate for the decoration.
Make a small cone out of parchment paper.
And pour the chocolate as you like.
Let the chocolate cool and then put the cakes in an airtight box to store them.
