Ingredients
100gAll purpose flour
1/2tspBaking soda
1/2tspGround cinnamon
1/8tspGround nutmeg
1/2tspSalt
270gQuaker Oat So Simple Porridge, Golden Syrup Flavour
170gUnsalted butter, softened
135gLight brown sugar
1Egg, large
1tspVanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare the dry ingredients: Sift the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt together into another bowl. Add the oats into the bowl and use a fork to mix the mixture. Set aside. *
In a mixing bowl, add in the room temperature butter and brown sugar. Cream together using a whisk or a hand mixer for 3 minutes, until the butter and sugar mixture becomes light and paler in colour.
Add in the egg and vanilla extract into the mixing bowl, continue beating until the mixture is incorporated.
Add the oat mixture into the mixing bowl, one-third at a time as you continue beating just to combine. It is important to not overwork the cookie dough. **
Chill the cookie dough in the fridge for as long as 30mins or overnight. ***
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celcius fan-assisted. Line a baking tray with a baking sheet. Place the chilled cookie balls on the tray and press down with your wet fingers, making sure that enough space is left between each cookie. Bake the cookie doughs for 13-15 minutes.
Let the cookies cool completely on the baking tray. Otherwise, transfer to a wire rack after 10 minutes.
Notes
* if you are adding raisins or dried fruits, you should soak them in hot water for about 10 minutes.** now is the time to add your raisins or dried fruit - using a spoon or spatula to combine, not the mixer.*** unlike other recipes, you can actually skip this step. The cookies have a good texture from the oats, which prevents the cookies from spreading too easily.You can also freeze the cookie dough and keep them for up to 2 months.Volume to metrics Conversions can be found here.
