Ginger Oat Chewy Creams – Bake of the Week

Blimey these are good! I’ve been after a hugely tasty cookie for ages – I found these in my latest edition of Baking Heaven, got stuck in and of course, messed around with the recipe a little. I didn’t expect them to be quite so filling with the White Chocolate centre but they are truly amazing. Tara and Violet prefer them without the filling – They are just a good and chewy the following few days too.

The original recipe comes from Eve & David O’Sullivan and is featured in their Bake in Black cookbook which I am seeing everywhere at the moment. I’ve not invested yet but if more recipes are half as good as this one, then its a must!

Chewy, rich Ginger Oat cookies with a luxurious White Chocolate Filling

Ingredients

• 160ml Vegetable Oil
• 200g Caster Sugar
• 1 Egg (Whisked)
• 3.5 tablespoons Black Treacle
• 200g Plain Flour
• 200g Jumbo Rolled Oats
• 2 teaspoons Bicarbonate of Soda
• 3 teaspoons Ground Ginger
• 100g White Chocolate
• 140gg Butter (The original recipe says unsalted but I quite happily use lightly salted)
• 200g Icing Sugar

Note

ThThe original recipe also include 1 tsp of ground cloves which I chose to omit

Directions

Ginger Oat Cookies
1.
Preheat the oven to 180C and line 2-3 baking trays with baking parchment
2.
In a large bowl, combine the oil, caster sugar & egg - Gradually add the treacle, oats, bicarb & spices. Fold in the flour.
3.
Once mixed, you should be able to bring the dough together in a large bowl. Chill for 10-15 minutes.
4.
Separate the mixture into 32 evenly sized balls and flatten slightly with the heel of your palm - Place on a baking tray. They will spread a fair bit though so don't place too close together.
5.
Bake for 11 minutes - They will just start to develop a slight shell but be moist and chewy inside - Cool on a wire rack
White Chocolate Filling
6.
While the cookies are cooling, start on the filling - melt the white chocolate over a bowl of boiling water (not allowing the bottom of the bowl to touch the water) Leave to cool for 5 minutes
7.
Whisk the butter until pale and fluffy and add the icing sugar. With an electric whisk on a slow setting, gradually add the melted white chocolate - speed up the whisk once all added until the mixture thickens and is well combined
8.
I piped the White Chocolate filling with a star nozzle but if you can't wait that long, spread it on with a spoon - Delicious!

It feels like forever since I did a Bake of the Week roundup – I don’t like to post until all posts have been commented on and shared, therefore why there has been such a delay. The good news is that Tara is now fully ensconced at school so Bake of the Week will be back to its regular Tuesday slot every week now. Thanks for bearing with me until now!

My featured Bake of the Week is this absolutely stunning Limoncello Mascarpone Layer Cake from Andrea at All You Need Is Love And Cake – Just a beautiful spectacle that would be a delight at any table.

I couldn’t leave out this Flower Bread from Sarah at Tales from the Kitchen Shed either. Proving (pun intended) that pre-planning pays off with her Flower Bread work of art.

I also want to give a mention to the Free From Fairy for her post on Tips for Free From Baking – A lot of knowledge, expertise and time goes into these type of posts – Thank you for sharing your tips.
