I ran across a version of this recipe on a cooking blog called the Smitten Kitchen, http://smittenkitchen.com/, and it's my new favorite cookie of all time. It's buttery, crispy, sweet and salty. YUM. It's not possible to eat one, you must have two or three at a time, think Cookie Monster.
This recipe got me third place at my office bake-off, but I was robbed. I should have gotten first.
1 cup flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
14 TB unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
8 oz good-quality white chocolate, chopped up
1/2 tsp kosher salt plus 1/4 tsp for sprinkling
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and the 1/2 tsp salt in a medium bowl.
In another bowl, beat together butter and sugar until fluffy. Add in eggs and vanilla until combined. Slowly add in flour mixture and mix until just blended. Add in oats and chocolate until incorporated.
Spoon up a large tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball, repeat for remaining dough. Press down on each ball to slightly flatten and sprinkle a flake or two of fancy salt on each cookie. Bake for 12 - 15 minutes, or until cookies are golden brown. Transfer to wire rack to cool. Makes 24 - 30 cookies, it all depends on how much cookie dough you eat :)
