This is a variation on the oat, coconut and choc chip cookie, taking out the coconut and choc and using orange instead. I guess if you wanted orange and chocolate chip cookies, then leave the chips in 🙂

85g Granulated sugar

85g Demerera sugar

100g butter (at room temp)

300g Plain Flour / All purpose flour

1/2 tps salt

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 egg

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

1 Orange – grate a bit of rind when needed, then use the juice of the whole orange

2 tsp of orange extract

60g choc chips optional

Cream the butter and sugar together until smooth (ish), add the egg, orange rind, juice and extract and mix. Then add the flour, salt and baking soda & powder. It needs to start binding like a dough, so if it’s a bit sloppy, then add a bit more flour (I didn’t weigh mine before adding, so went from 250g to 300g in the ingredients, but a bit more may be needed).

Once it’s binding well, add the oats by hand. Then put on a baking sheet and flatten out with your hand to about 1 – 2cm depth. Then use a cookie/biscuit cutter to get your desired shape and size.

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