You know those days where you want to eat something sweet, but you want to pretend that you're being healthy? Add dried fruit and oats to it, and eat it in self-righteous glory! These cookies are a bit like fruity Anzac biscuits, and the recipe is pretty damn easy. Nehold!
Sultana Oat Cookies
1 and 1/4 cups plain flour
1 cup rolled oats (not quick-cooking - you want self-righteous-home-made-muesli type oats)
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup sultanas
150 g butter (just under half a cup - most sticks of butter in Australia have 50 g markings on the wrappers)
2 tablespoons golden syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt (can be omitted)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon sodium bicarbonate
Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F)
In a large bowl mix together flour, oats, sugar, fruit, salt and cinnamon
Put butter, syrup, sodium bicarbonate and 1 tablespoon of water in a small saucepan.
Slowly melt wet ingredients together in the saucepan - it will froth and bubble, which is normal. Do not lick the spoon! The sodium bicarb will make you gag if you do. That stuff is nasty.
Pour the liquid mixture into the dry mixture, and mix until combined. It will seem quite crumbly - that's normal
Place tablespoons of the mixture about 4 cm (1 and 1/2 inch) apart on a lined baking tray amd bake for 15-18 minutes
Leave to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before moving to a rack to cool completely
These super tasty, easy cookies store well, but they won't hang around long enough for that to be an issue. Enjoy!
