Oat and Maple Cookies

I've been making these cookies for a few months and they are a big favourite. The only downside to them is that they disappear almost as soon as they've been made.

As with the last post a picture will follow...


Makes 24

7oz butter
4 tbsp light brown sugar
4 tbsp maple syrup
8oz porridge oats
2 oz self raising flour

1. Pre heat the oven gas mark six
   
2. Cream the butter and the sugar together until the butter goes pale
3. Mix in the maple syrup
4. Add the oats and the flour and mix well
5. Put balls of the mixture onto a well greased baking tray (I use baking parchment so I know they won't stick) and flatten them out a bit with a fork (unlike other cookies these ones won't spread out as they cook so they need to be flattened and they are going to come out of the oven more or less the same size as they went in)
6. Put them in the oven for 15 mins or until the oats on the outside are starting to turn golden
7. Allow to cool a bit before you eat them
8. If you have any left over they should keep for a week in an air tight container
