Hey guys, today on working class foodies, I'm going to show you

00:00:04,371 --> 00:00:08,379
how to make caramelized, white chocolate, blueberry oatmeal cookies

3
00:00:12,994 --> 00:00:15,392
this is what caramelized white chocolate looks like

4
00:00:15,392 --> 00:00:20,455
super easy to make, there's a great tutorial on food52.com, the link is below

5
00:00:20,455 --> 00:00:22,794
so to make these cookies, here's what you're going to need

6
00:00:23,116 --> 00:00:26,698
one stick, or half a cup of unsalted butter, softened

7
00:00:26,698 --> 00:00:32,238
one large egg, two thirds of a cup of light brown sugar, packed

8
00:00:32,238 --> 00:00:38,903
half a teaspoon of vanilla extract, two thirds of a cup of all purpose flour

9
00:00:39,011 --> 00:00:42,181
half a teaspoon of baking soda, half a teaspoon of cinnamon,

10
00:00:42,181 --> 00:00:46,217
up to half a teaspoon of salt, and this is optional, but it really pumps of the flavor,

11
00:00:46,217 --> 00:00:48,553
half a teaspoon of vanilla powder

12
00:00:49,046 --> 00:00:51,600
you're also going to need a half cup of dried blueberries,

13
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:58,302
a heaping half cup of caramelized white chocolate, and one and a half cups of rolled oats

14
00:00:58,302 --> 00:01:03,947
cream together your butter and egg, sugar and vanilla

15
00:01:07,114 --> 00:01:14,155
then you're going to combine your spices and your baking soda into your flour

16
00:01:14,155 --> 00:01:20,192
once you've creamed together your butter, egg, sugar, and vanilla, you're going to add in your flour and spice mixture

17
00:01:20,192 --> 00:01:22,520
let that all mix together for about two minutes.

18
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:28,124
After you've mixed the flour and spices into the butter and sugar for about two minutes, its time to fold in your mix-ins.

19
00:01:28,124 --> 00:01:33,680
Rolled oats, caramelized white chocolate, and dried blueberries.

20
00:01:35,603 --> 00:01:39,597
The important thing at this stage is not to overmix it, because you don't want to overmix the flour

21
00:01:39,597 --> 00:01:43,739
or the gluten will come out and it will actually become tough instead of soft and chewy, which is what we want.

22
00:01:43,739 --> 00:01:48,897
We're just doing this until all of the ingredients are mixed together, which looks like now.

23
00:01:50,482 --> 00:01:53,146
Can you go in the other room for a second? Yeah

24
00:01:53,146 --> 00:01:58,895
Aha I'm poking it! I'm poking her dough and she doesn't know.

25
00:01:58,895 --> 00:02:00,808
Mmm, delicious.

26
00:02:00,808 --> 00:02:04,140
Yeah? Nothing! It's ready!

27
00:02:04,140 --> 00:02:07,054
So now that our dough is all mixed together, we're going to scoop it out

28
00:02:07,054 --> 00:02:11,018
onto our silpat parchment paper or buttered pan, and then we're actually going to

29
00:02:11,018 --> 00:02:12,877
stick the pan in the fridge for about half an hour,

30
00:02:12,877 --> 00:02:14,517
because if your dough is cold when it goes in the oven,

31
00:02:14,517 --> 00:02:17,940
the butter won't melt as quickly and you'll get softer, chewier cookies.

32
00:02:17,940 --> 00:02:22,033
Preheat your oven to 350. Take your cookies out of the fridge and bake them for about 8-10 minutes.

33
00:02:22,033 --> 00:02:26,503
or until the edges are brown, but the centers are still a little bit soft.

34
00:02:26,503 --> 00:02:28,335
this is how they should look when they are done:

35
00:02:28,335 --> 00:02:32,001
a little brown around the edges, but still light in the center.
