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

how to make caramelized, white chocolate, blueberry oatmeal cookies

this is what caramelized white chocolate looks like

super easy to make, there's a great tutorial on food52.com, the link is below

so to make these cookies, here's what you're going to need

one stick, or half a cup of unsalted butter, softened

one large egg, two thirds of a cup of light brown sugar, packed

half a teaspoon of vanilla extract, two thirds of a cup of all purpose flour

half a teaspoon of baking soda, half a teaspoon of cinnamon,

up to half a teaspoon of salt, and this is optional, but it really pumps of the flavor,

half a teaspoon of vanilla powder

you're also going to need a half cup of dried blueberries,

a heaping half cup of caramelized white chocolate, and one and a half cups of rolled oats

cream together your butter and egg, sugar and vanilla

then you're going to combine your spices and your baking soda into your flour

once you've creamed together your butter, egg, sugar, and vanilla, you're going to add in your flour and spice mixture

let that all mix together for about two minutes.

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.

Rolled oats, caramelized white chocolate, and dried blueberries.

The important thing at this stage is not to overmix it, because you don't want to overmix the flour

or the gluten will come out and it will actually become tough instead of soft and chewy, which is what we want.

We're just doing this until all of the ingredients are mixed together, which looks like now.

Can you go in the other room for a second? Yeah

Aha I'm poking it! I'm poking her dough and she doesn't know.

Mmm, delicious.

Yeah? Nothing! It's ready!

So now that our dough is all mixed together, we're going to scoop it out

onto our silpat parchment paper or buttered pan, and then we're actually going to

stick the pan in the fridge for about half an hour,

because if your dough is cold when it goes in the oven,

the butter won't melt as quickly and you'll get softer, chewier cookies.

Preheat your oven to 350. Take your cookies out of the fridge and bake them for about 8-10 minutes.

or until the edges are brown, but the centers are still a little bit soft.

this is how they should look when they are done:

a little brown around the edges, but still light in the center.
