Cranberry Oat Cookies

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 170C or 150C for fan assisted ovens and tip the oats into a mixing bowl. Add the flour, a pinch of salt and the dried fruit.

Melt the butter, sugar and syrup together in a saucepan. In a jug, combine the boiling water and bicarbonate of soda.

Pour the water and bicarbonate of soda mixture into the butter mixture and mix. Pour this into the oat mixture and stir to combine.

Line a baking tray with baking paper. Roll the mixture into equal sized balls, place them onto the tray and slightly flatten.

Gently press nuts on top (optional) and bake for 13 - 15 minutes, leave to cool and enjoy!
