Double the recipe, they disappear very quickly; and don’t be surprised when you find yourself eating more than one or two.

125 ml (1/2 cup) butter, room temperature
125 ml (1/2 cup) white sugar
125 ml (1/2 cup) brown sugar
1 egg
2 ml (1/2 tsp) vanilla
300 ml (1 1/4 cup) oatmeal (or quick cooking oats processed to a powder)
250 ml (1 cup) all-purpose flour
1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt
2 ml (1/2 tsp) baking powder, sifted
2 ml (1/2 tsp) baking soda, sifted
55 g (2 oz) grated chocolate
170 g (6 oz) chocolate, roughly chopped bits, or chocolate chips

Combine the oatmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda together and add to butter and sugar mixture, mixing well. Add grated chocolate and chocolate chips.
