Oats Raisins Cookies

Oats Raisins Cookies (Recipe from BBC Goodfood. These cookies are amazingly easy to make, and have a crumbly-cakey texture to them. Quick and easy and perfect with warm milk, natural yoghurt, or just a tasty and healthy treat. This recipe makes 10-12 (depending on how big you want your cookies!) but the amounts can be easily doubled to make larger amounts for more people. Instead of raisins, try chopped dates, small pieces of ginger, chocolate chips...)

Ingredients

50g low-fat margarine or butter

50g caster sugar

1tablespoon set honey or dessert spoon of runny honey

1 egg

1 teaspoon cinnamon powder

50g wholemeal flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

80g porridge oats

50g raisins 

Method

Heat oven to 180 C / 160 C (fan assisted) / gas 4.

Grease a large baking sheet.

In a large bowl, mix the margarine/butter and sugar together until soft, then beat in the honey (using an electric whisk makes it quick and easy!).

Add the egg and cinnamon powder and mix well.

In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, oats and raisins and mix together before adding to the butter mixture.

Drop heaped dessertspoonful  of the cookie dough onto the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.

Remove them from the oven, they should be golden but will still seem a tiny bit soft to the touch. Leave them on the tray for a minute (this lets them settle slightly) before transferring them to a cooling tray to completely cool. Store in an air tight container or (if you're anything like me) dive straight in!
