Tea and cookies

Tonight I'm enjoying a cup of chamomile tea and freshly made oat cookies. I recently discovered the below recipe which is really yummy as well as being relatively healthy. Just perfect and I'm already looking forward to morning tea tomorrow morning!

1 cup (150g) plain or gluten free flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup quick cooking oats, uncooked

¼ cup dried apricots or sultanas

¼ cup dates, finely chopped

1/3 cup lite dessicated coconut(optional)

1/3 cup (80g) brown sugar firmly packed or raw sugar

1 tablespoon each of golden syrup and honey, warmed in microwave for 15 -30 seconds until runny

1 tablespoon canola or olive oil

1 large egg, lightly beaten

2 teaspoons vanilla essence or 1 teaspoon each vanilla and coconut essence

Step1

Preheat oven to 190 C. Spray a large non stick baking tray with cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl combine all dry ingredients and mix well.

Step 2

Then mix together the warmed syrup and honey , oil, egg and essence. Add the wet to dry ingredients and mix until well combined.

Step 3

Using wet hands shape tablespoons of the mix into balls and flatten with a fork, placing on tray with 2 cm between each. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool on tray.
