You really have to try these, the recipe comes from Australia and is awesome


Salted White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
This may seem to be an unusual recipe because it takes traditional cookie goodness such as oats, sugar and white chocolate, and combines it with a touch of salt. Not so unusual, when you consider the popularity of fleur de sel caramels and salted caramel sauce. These salted white chocolate oatmeal cookies are absolutely wonderful. They have a crunchy texture that is at odds with its chewy-looking exterior. Plus that hint of salt, you have to love them.
Note: The original recipe says it will make 24, but you may get more and that is fine, in fact that is great.
The original recipe is from SmittenKitchen.com .
Salted White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose (plain) flour
¾ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon table salt
14 tablespoons unsalted butter, slightly
softened
1 cup sugar
¼ cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ½ cups rolled oats (You can use quick oats)
6 ounces Dove Chocolate Discoveries
white chocolate, chopped
½ teaspoon flaky sea salt (like Maldon or fleur
de sel), for sprinkling on top
Steps:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and table salt into a medium bowl.
3. Beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Scrape down bowl with rubber spatula, then add egg and vanilla and beat until incorporated. Scrape down bowl again. Add flour mixture gradually and mix until just incorporated and smooth. Gradually add oats and white chocolate and mix until well incorporated.
4. Roll about 2 tablespoons of the dough into balls, then place on lined baking sheets about 2 ½ inches (6cm) apart. Using fingertips, gently press down each ball to about ¾-inch (1.8cm) thickness.
5. Sprinkle a flake or two of sea salt on each cookie (Sprinkled more if you really like salt!)
6. Bake until cookies are deep golden brown, about 13 to 16 minutes, rotating baking sheet halfway through. Transfer cookies to wire rack to cool.
Store in an airtight container
