I've been making variations of these cookies for some time now, but I do like to mix it up a bit when I get the chance.  Today I added orange juice and zest for a fruitier flavour, and I'm pretty happy with the results - they're also the easiest bake you can possibly imagine.  I urge you to give them a go...

Orange and Raisin Cookies
Ingredients:
3oz/85g self-raising flour
3oz/85g caster sugar
3oz/85g oats
3oz/85g butter or margarine
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp orange juice
Zest from 1 orange
Handful of raisins
Instructions:
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C / 356°F.
  2. Cover a baking tray with greaseproof paper and lightly grease.
  3. Add all the dry ingredients together in a bowl and mix.
  4. Add the butter, honey and orange juice to a pan and slowly heat until melted.
  5. Take the pan off the heat and add the dry mix.  Stir well.  At this point you can add more orange juice or more oats as necessary - you want a sticky consistency.
  6. Add the raisins to the mix.
  7. Spoon the mixture onto the baking tray - it should make approximately 9 cookies.
  8. Cook for 10-12 minutes until golden.
  9. Leave to cool on a wire rack.

 

I've tried these cookies with chocolate chips and with golden syrup instead of the honey, but I think this recipe is my favourite so far.  Let me know if you have any suggestions for alternative ideas!
