Oat and Raisin Cookies

It’s nice to have a sweet treat with tea or coffee. These cookies are just the thing.

Prep time: 15 mins + 17 mins time

Makes: 12

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup (65g) Glucerna powder
  • 100g raisins
  • 150g melted butter
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup honey (see tip below)
  • 1 egg
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ cup white flour
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1¼ cup oats
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 180° C. Line baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Place oats, butter, brown sugar, honey, egg, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, Glucerna powder and vanilla essence in food processor and blend until well combined. Place in large mixing bowl.
  3. Add raisins and stir until mixed through.
  4. Form heaped tablespoons of dough into balls and gently press down to flatten slightly. Space evenly on baking tray, leaving room for cookies to expand.
