Scottish Flapjack Cookies

An easy recipe for chewy flapjack oat cookies.



FLAPJACK COOKIES


If you're like me and struggle to eat breakfast before you rush out the door to work, then
these homemade flapjack cookies are just perfect.

Grab a banana and one of these cookies and you'll be fine until lunchtime.

BEFORE WORK COOKIES

  1. These cookies are easy to make before work.
  2. Prepare the dough in the evening and chill overnight.
  3. Turn the oven on to heat while you're getting ready.
  4. Tear off enough dough for as many cookies as you want and pop on a baking tray and bake them while you continue to get organised. They bake for 10 minutes.
  5. 10 minutes later (and a few minutes to cool) and voila, breakfast on the run.
  6. Not for every breakfast you understand, but great for those rushed mornings and for treats.

WHAT TYPE OF OATS ARE BEST IN COOKIES?



You can use fine oatmeal or porridge oats to make cookies.

I prefer to use porridge oats, also known as rolled oats for a bit more texture, but you could use fine oatmeal.

SCOTTISH OATS


Oats are a staple crop in Scotland and appear in many of our recipes. 

They are a healthy ingredient (full of vitamins, minerals, fibre and antioxidants), cheap and are great as the star of a recipe or to bulk out a dish.

  5. Next add the oats and raisins.
  6. Bring the dough together into a ball and pop in the fridge for at least 20 minutes. You could leave it overnight if making a morning snack.
  7. Roll into golf ball size pieces and squash slightly when you place them on your lined baking tray. Give them a bit of space to spread.

  9. I think they're worth trying for the name alone. . . but of course the taste would keep me making them! Great idea, and I love that you can just whip up as many as you need, eat and go! :)

    Hey Rose, The demerara gives the cookies a lovely caramelly flavour.

    Hi Akheela, They are great cookies and I always have oats in the house, so they are easy to whip up.
