Steel Cut Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Steel Cut Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

These aren’t your normal oatmeal cookies. Instead of using regular rolled oats, I used instant steel cut oats. They change the consistency of the cookie; almost having a likeness to granola bars. It is very important to use instant steel cut oats instead of regular ones that require lots of cooking. If you use the wrong ones, you will have gravel cookies. Nobody wants gravel cookies. I also added some chocolate chips and walnuts to the cookie dough because I like chocolate and nuts in my cookies. And 420 butter. Can’t forget that. The cookies only take 12 minutes to bake in 2 separate batches, yielding 2 dozen cookies.

420 Butter

Caution when consuming this. This butter is extremely strong. I put a melon ball sized scoop in my Potato Poblano soup I was eating and was fucked up for 18 hours.

Equipment

  • Ardent Nova Decarboxylator
  • Magic Butter machine

Ingredients

Decarboxylation

  • 1 oz greens, stems and all

The Butter

  • 1 oz decarboxylated greens
  • 1 lbs unsalted butter

Instructions

Decarboxylation

  • Using the Ardent Nova Decarboxylator, add your greens. Don’t break up the buds. Leave in any extra stems. You want to use everything. This machine only holds 14 grams, so you’ll have to do this process in 2 batches.

The Butter

  • Using the Magic Butter machine, add all of the greens and 1lb of butter. I let the butter sit out for half a day to soften to room temp.

  • Put the cover on the Magic Butter machine. Set the settings to Butter, 160 degrees. This will take about 2 hours to make. Let the magic happen.

  • After the 2 hours are up, let sit for a couple of minutes. This butter is very hot. 
    420
  • Strain the butter through the mesh butter trainer that came with your Magic Butter machine. Make sure to wear the food gloves that came with the machine. You are going to want to squeeze out as much of the butter as possible from the greens.

  • Save in a container. Keep in the fridge. If you aren’t going to use all of the butter within a month, keep it in the freezer.
