• 100 g/ 3.5 oz. creamy unsalted butter
• 6 heaping Tbsp flour
• 12 Tbsp old-fashioned oats
• 1 medium egg
• 1 tsp Bourbon vanilla extract
• 4 Tbsp brown sugar
• 4 Tbsp sultanas
• 4 heaping Tbsp Nutella
• 4 Tbsp of coarsely chopped organic walnuts
• 50 g/1.75 oz. organic dark chocolate (72% cocoa) - coarsely chopped
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2/3 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 180C/ 360F and line two pans or baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl mix together butter, egg, Nutella, sultanas and vanilla. In a different bowl mix together flour, baking powder, oats, brown sugar, chopped walnuts and salt. Add the dry ingredients in the first bowl and give it a good stir using a spatula.

Toss in the chopped chocolate and give it another quick stir.

Just one piece of advice before I go any further with this recipe. I tried making these cookies in the microwave and they came out really good except for the sultanas being slightly burned. So if you're planning on using your microwave, forget about sultanas and just double the amount of walnuts instead. Also use the microwave's pizza/ crisp plate and microwave safe silicone-coated parchment paper. If you're going for the microwave you don't need to preheat the oven (some microwaves let you preheat the pizza plate but I've never used that function).

Drop the dough on the lined cookie sheets using a spoon. Repeat the "spoon-operation" until there's no dough left. Make sure to place them leaving about 5 cm/ 2 inch free space in between. Using the heel of your hand press the dough gently until the cookies are about 1 ¼ cm/ 0.5 inch thick.

Bake for about 14-16 minutes. Or microwave them for 8 minutes on 500 W and 1 ½ minutes on crisp - the time for baking 7 cookies. If you bake less or more cookies on the pizza plate, you'll need to adjust the time. For instance I found that 4 minutes on 500 W and 45 seconds on crisp work just fine for 3 cookies.

Let them cool on cooling racks (you'll have to be gentle as you transfer them to the cooling racks because they aren't firm yet). They will firm up as they'll start to cool.

And here comes the best part: enjoy :)!
