I realise that this blog is mostly about my crafting/sewing but I had to share this recipe for the world’s best oat cookies:

125 g butter

125 g sugar

1 egg

125 g rolled oats

75 g flour

1 ts vanilla essence

0.5 ts baking powder

50 g dried cranberries (or dried apricots, raisins, nuts)

125 g chocolate chips

Cream butter and sugar, add the egg, oats and vanilla essence and mix well. Sift in the flour and baking powder and mix well. Add the cranberries and chocolate chips. Put dollops of the mixture onto a baking tray with a spoon and bake for 15 – 20 mins at 180C until golden.

And then try not to eat them all in one go!

PS You might wonder why the cookie in my picture has apricots rather than cranberries? The cranberry ones disappeared before I had a chance to take a picture. Yes, that’s how good they are.
