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

00:00:12.994 --> 00:00:15.392
this is what caramelized white chocolate looks like

00:00:15.392 --> 00:00:20.455
super easy to make, there's a great tutorial on food52.com, the link is below

00:00:20.455 --> 00:00:22.794
so to make these cookies, here's what you're going to need

00:00:23.116 --> 00:00:26.698
one stick, or half a cup of unsalted butter, softened

00:00:26.698 --> 00:00:32.238
one large egg, two thirds of a cup of light brown sugar, packed

00:00:32.238 --> 00:00:38.903
half a teaspoon of vanilla extract, two thirds of a cup of all purpose flour

00:00:39.011 --> 00:00:42.181
half a teaspoon of baking soda, half a teaspoon of cinnamon,

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,

00:00:46.217 --> 00:00:48.553
half a teaspoon of vanilla powder

00:00:49.046 --> 00:00:51.600
you're also going to need a half cup of dried blueberries,

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

00:00:58.302 --> 00:01:03.947
cream together your butter and egg, sugar and vanilla

00:01:07.114 --> 00:01:14.155
then you're going to combine your spices and your baking soda into your flour

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

00:01:20.192 --> 00:01:22.520
let that all mix together for about two minutes.

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.

00:01:28.124 --> 00:01:33.680
Rolled oats, caramelized white chocolate, and dried blueberries.

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

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.

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.

00:01:50.482 --> 00:01:53.146
Can you go in the other room for a second? Yeah

00:01:53.146 --> 00:01:58.895
Aha I'm poking it! I'm poking her dough and she doesn't know.

00:01:58.895 --> 00:02:00.808
Mmm, delicious.

00:02:00.808 --> 00:02:04.140
Yeah? Nothing! It's ready!

00:02:04.140 --> 00:02:07.054
So now that our dough is all mixed together, we're going to scoop it out

00:02:07.054 --> 00:02:11.018
onto our silpat parchment paper or buttered pan, and then we're actually going to

00:02:11.018 --> 00:02:12.877
stick the pan in the fridge for about half an hour,

00:02:12.877 --> 00:02:14.517
because if your dough is cold when it goes in the oven,

00:02:14.517 --> 00:02:17.940
the butter won't melt as quickly and you'll get softer, chewier cookies.

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.

00:02:22.033 --> 00:02:26.503
or until the edges are brown, but the centers are still a little bit soft.

00:02:26.503 --> 00:02:28.335
this is how they should look when they are done:

00:02:28.335 --> 00:02:32.001
a little brown around the edges, but still light in the center.
