Bumper oat cookies
Bumper oat cookies
Oaty, chewy, spicy cookies – ready in under an hour and great for tea time
Ingredients
175g butter
175g demerara sugar
100g golden syrup
85g plain flour
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
250g porridge oats
1 tsp ground cinnamon
100g each of ready-to-eat dried apricots, chopped and stem ginger, chopped
75-80g pack dried sour cherries
2 tbsp boiling water
1 medium egg, beaten
Method
1 - Heat the oven to 180C/fan160C/gas 4. Line several baking sheets with baking parchment or non-stick sheets. Warm the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a large saucepan over a medium heat until the butter has melted. Stir in the flour, bicarbonate of soda, oats, cinnamon, dried fruits and ginger, then the water and finally the egg. Leave to cool until easy to handle.
2 - With dampened hands, shape the mixture into 18 large balls, then flatten them onto the baking sheets – allowing plenty of space for spreading – and bake for 15-20 mins until golden. (This will give a soft, chewy cookie. For a crisper one, reduce the heat to 160C/fan140C/gas 3 and bake for a further 5-10 mins.)
3 - Allow the cookies to cool on the trays briefly, then lift onto to a cooling rack. Will keep in an airtight container, separated with baking parchment, for up to 1 week.
