OAT AND RAISIN COOKIES

So as not to waste the oats bought for the oatcakes I made up a batch of oat and raisin cookies this morning. I used the recipe from Rachel Allen's book Bake.

110g butter, softened
110g caster sugar
110g soft light brown sugar
250g oats
1 egg
1tsp vanilla extract
1tsp salt
2tbsp water
110g self raising flour, sieved
110g raisins

First you need to cream together the butter and sugars until it is light and fluffy.


 Next add the egg, vanilla extract and water to the mixture and beat it in to the mixture.


Add the flour, oats and raisins and mix.


Roll a spoonful of the mixture into a small ball about the size of a walnut and pop onto a baking tray.


Bake in the oven at 180 degrees C for 15mins.
Leave them to cool for a minute or two before transferring to a wire rack so they don't fall apart.


Rachel says in her book that these go really nicely with milk and indeed they do!
