Oat cookies

Very quick and easy. 20 mins all-in. Makes 15-20.

Oat cookies fresh from the oven. MMmmmmmm

Recipe follows after the break…

• 200g Butter (or margarine)
• 150g Caster sugar
• 4-6 tablespoons golden syrup
• 200g porridge oats
• 200g Self-raising flour
• 1tsp bicarbonate of soda

1. Pre-heat over to Gas Mark 6, or 200ºC
2. Grease 2 baking trays
3. Melt butter, syrup and sugar in a pan over low heat on the hob. Do not boil (or it turns into toffee). Set aside.
4. Sieve flour into mixing bowl, add bicarb and oats. Mix.
5. Add buttery sauce to mixing bowl until it’s moist but not too sticky. You might not need to use all the mixture. Mix well.
6. Roll into small balls, size of a cherry-tomato, or roughly dollop mixture onto baking trays. I prefer rough shapes as they are more artisan.
7. Bake 8-10 mins until golden brown.
8. Cool for 5 mins on side before transferring to a wire rack for cooling.
