It's practically therapy. Lucy at Attic24 made some oaty cookies &
blogged about them today so that's all the nudging I needed... Here's
my own recipe; very much like flapjacks but a bit lighter...
Fruity flapjack cookies;
Preheat oven to 175*c
100g butter
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 generous tablespoon golden syrup
75g SR flour
100g porridge oats
1 tablespoon raisins
1 tablespoon dried cranberries
1 tablespoon chopped dried apricots
Gently warm the butter, sugar and syrup in a saucepan until the sugar
is melted (don't boil)
Add the flour, oats and dried fruit and mix until combined
Take a dessertspoon of the mixture at a time, squash into a slightly
round shape in your hands and flatten slightly onto a baking tray
Bake for 15 minutes or until slightly golden..
They are particularly yummy warm & keep for several days in a tin.
Enjoy :)
Hi Natalie,
ReplyDeleteI just came across your flapjack cookie recipe.
I bought a pack of those in Marks & Spencer here in Paris, and I liked them very much. Next step now was to find a healthier recipe to those store bought ones.
Yours really look,scrumptious. I will try them next weekend.
M&S adds dried coconut to their recipe. Do you think I need to add less oats or flour if I add coconut?
I gather the dough is quite soft. You can't roll it out, can you?
Thanks for posting; wishing you a lovely weekend.
Brigitte
Hi Brigitte
DeleteYes, use slightly fewer oats if you are adding coconut - I wouldn't worry too much about being super accurate with measurements though :) Yes it's a soft dough so can't be rolled . I hope you enjoy them!
