Golden Syrup and Oat Cookies


My builders require feeding at their frequent tea breaks, something sweet but energy boosting. These are just perfect! My Mum used to make them all the time, and they bring back great childhood memories of licking the syrup spoon clean (how I miss that!).

We can find golden syrup here sometimes. I know for sure they would carry it at Taste of Britain.

:-O! You feed your builders homemade cookies... You truly are super-pregnant-woman (if you get what I mean lol)! xxx

I love homemade cookies, especially those with oats, nuts, honey, seasame seeds, raisins.
I'll bookmark your recipe and make it once the occasion comes around.

I rarely make internet posts but felt strongly compelled to for this exeptional case.

I recently baked these cookies. They are so easy to make and one of the most satisfying baking experiences as they are simply delicious.

I give them to my boyfriend in his packed lunch; he finds them so tasty that he refuses to share any with his colleagues.

10/10 !

when I make these they don't look like yours, they spread out much more... any ideas?

Beth (Jam and Clotted Cream) said...

Most likely too much syrup. Try not to be too liberal with it

Sorry but I thought these were awful, they spread out and took forever to unweld from the tray. I used the syrup stated in the recipe and did not alter any of the amounts. I wouldn't try them again.

I just made these with my 6 year old niece. They were easy enough for her to help, and we both *loved* them. They looked just like the ones in the photos. We'll definitely be making them again!

Thanks so much for this recipe. I've made these cookies about 5 times now with the addition of choc chips, raisins and apricot cinnamon today and they have worked every time :) I used to have a similar recipe and lost it so am very pleased to have this one. Thanks again
