- 300g plain flour

- STEP 2Gradually beat in the eggs and vanilla
- STEP 3In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking powder, and salt.
- STEP 4Add this to the creamed mixture bit at a time and mix well. Then stir in the chocolate chips.
- STEP 5Shape the mixture into 36 balls and place them 5cm apart on ungreased baking trays, pressing each ball down with the back of a fork.
- STEP 6Bake in an oven preheated to 190C/gas mark 5 for 10-12 minutes, until edges start browning. Cool on wire rack
