Honey Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

When I find a new favorite thing, I keep going back to it. New favourite shoes will get worn everyday; favourite nail polish, will get worn to death; a new lunch inspiration will eaten every lunch-time until I tire of the taste. You get the point.

So when I find a new cookie recipe, that is chewy with a bit of nutty-ness and oaty goodness and is quick to make, it will get baked repetitively. They are a bit more healthier than most too. I've made these twice this week already. The last time I felt this passionate about a cookie was with my White Chocolate and Lime cookies, they are brilliant too.

Don't forget to take you butter out of the fridge beforehand, so it's near room temperature, or you can choose one of my quick methods to softening butter. And the best thing about cookies in general is that they only take minutes in the oven!
Behold my Honey Oatmeal Raisin Cookies!


Honey Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Makes 7-9 cookies
 
50g butter, room temperature
50g caster sugar
2 Tbsp honey
1 egg
1 tsp heaped cinnamon powder
50g wholemeal flour (or plain/ all-purpose flour if you're at a loss)
1tsp baking powder
80g porridge oats
30g raisins
20g sunflower seeds

Heat oven to 180°C/ 350°F. Grease a large baking sheet. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, then beat in the honey.

Add the egg and cinnamon powder and mix well. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and oats before adding to the butter mixture.

Fold in the Raisins and Sunflower seeds into the mixture.

Drop heaped tablespoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Keep an eye on them as they go brown quickly!

Remove them from the oven and leave them on the tray for 10 minutes to harden before transferring them to a cooling tray to completely cool (this bit is important).

And there you have it. Honey Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
