I have made these cookies a few times and everyone who has tried them has gone mad for them! I have to make them about twice a week! So whether its having friends round for a cuppa or something for the kids to munch on, these cookies are so quick and easy to make for all occasions.

You will need:

• 100g self raising flour
• 100g porridge oats (any brand, I've been using some I brought at my local market)
• Half teaspoon bicarbonate of soda.
• 100g butter or margarine.
• 100g granulated sugar
• 1 table spoon of golden syrup.

How to make:

1. Heat the oven to gas mark 4 or 180 degrees.
2. Grease a baking tray with some butter or margarine.
3. In a bowl put the flour, oats and bicarbonate of soda, give a quick stir to mix it up and set to one side.
4. In a saucepan, put the butter/margarine, sugar and golden syrup, stir on a low heat until the butter and sugar are melted.
5. When melted, take off the heat and gently stir in the oat mix.
6. Scoop dessertspoons of cookie mixture, in ball shapes, place on your greased baking tray, with a small gap between each cookie, how many cookies on your tray will depend on the size of course.
7. Cook in the oven for 15 minutes, once removed, leave to stand for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
   
8. Repeat step six and seven until all your cookie mix is used up. You should not need to re-grease your baking tray at any point.
9. Serve with a cup of tea or however you like!

These cookies should be stored in an airtight container and they last about a week!

I tried adding raisins to this recipe once and I found my cookies did not set after being cooked. If any readers find any twists to this recipe, please let me know!
