An slight upgrade on the previous recipe. We have now added honey and dark chocolate chips, and taken out the coconut. And being honest, it’s gone rather well.

Ingredients:

80g Granulated sugar

80g Demerera sugar

100g butter (at room temp)

3250g Plain Flour / All purpose flour

1/2 tps salt

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

Juice of 1 orange (or two tangerines) – and some of the rind grated into the mixture

125g oats (you may need to add more if the mixture is a too wet)

2 tsp of orange extract

60g dark choc chips (optional)

Method:

Cream the butter and sugar together until smooth (ish), add the juice, orange rind and extract and mix. Then add the flour, salt and baking soda & powder. Mix until doughy.

Then add the oats by hand and mix through thoroughly. Then put on a baking sheet and flatten out with your hand to about 1 – 2cm depth. (or lay a chopping board over another piece of baking parchment to flatten evenly). Then use a cookie/biscuit cutter to get your desired shape and size.

Put on either a greased baking tray or on baking paper, and cook for around 10 – 15 mins or until going brown at 180 degrees (170 fan assisted).
