Hawaiian Nut Cookies

Hawaiian Nut Cookies - The so called Famous Amos Cookies. Got this recipe online which was indeed the real recipe for Famous Amos cookies. The ingredients used will result in the taste of the cookies. Very good recipe to jot it down and try it yourself. You can save loads by buying Famous Amos itself. : )

To make around 100 cookies, You need:

1 cup butter

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 cup fine sugar

1 cup brown sugar

2 1/2 cups blended oatmeal

340g chocolate chips / chocolate buttons

1/2 tsp salt

250g grated chocolate bar

2 eggs

1 tsp baking powder

1 1/2 cups chopped nuts (your choice)

1 tsp vanilla essence

You can get a 500g chocolate bar in packed like this from any stores. If possible, use cooking Cadbury bar. Unfortunately, I've not seen any of those in Msia, therefore have to use this brand. :(

If you couldn't get a high quality chocolate bar, I would advise you to get better chocolate chips. or chocolate buttons.

I personally prefer Silverbird Chocolate Chips than Van Houten's.

1) Cream butter and both sugar in a mixing bowl. Add eggs and vanilla accordingly.

2) Blend oatmeals till fine.

3) Mix in flour, blended oatmeal, salt, baking powder and baking soda into mixture.

4) Add grated chocolate bar, chocolate chips / buttons and nuts (almonds).

5) Knead mixture into a dough. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes.

6) Roll into balls and place 2 inches apart.

7) Bake for 10 mins at 190 degree celcius.

8) Or you prefer nutless cookies, just void those nuts and add a little more chocolate chips.
