Servings: 6
Course: Cookies, Dessert

Ingredients
  

  • 150g Rolled Oats
  • 80g Dark Brown Sugar
  • 60g Plain Flour
  • 60g Plain Wholemeal Flour
  • 2 Tsp Ground Ginger
  • 1 Tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 Tsp Ground Nutmeg
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt
  • 1/2 Tsp Bicarbonate Of Soda
  • 120g Unsalted Butter
  • 40g Golden Syrup

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 180c (160c fan) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, add your butter and golden syrup and melt together, stir until smooth and combined.
  3. Stir in rolled oats, sugar, spices, flours and bicarb and mix until the dough comes together.
    Tip: If the dough feels crumbly, continue mixing or use the warmth of your hands to bring it together, it should be slightly crumbly but hold its shape.
  4. Scoop the mixture and weigh around 80g each and roll into balls. (I made 6 large hobnobs but you could make smaller ones too).
  5. Place the dough balls onto the lined trays and press down slightly to flatten them into cookie shapes.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until golden. For a crunchier texture, bake for the full 15 minutes and let cool on the trays.
  7. Once baked, allow to cool and enjoy! x
