Cookies

Ingredients:

275 g butter. diced into 2 cm cubes

175 g soft brown sugar

75 g white sugar

4 tsp vanilla sugar

180 g large rolled oats (I use spelt)

155 rolled oats blitzed to form a bran

100 g plain flour

1 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp ground nutmeg

¼ tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

200 g raisins

1 egg

Method;

In a large bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients except the butter and egg.

Place the remaining 200 g butter in a saucepan and heat and whisk for 6 minutes until deeply brown. Immediately pour over the butter and sugars mixture. Whisk together (it doesn't matter that the butter floats to the surface).

Leave to cool for ten minutes, stirring occasionally, then whisk in the egg.

Add the oats to the butter & sugar mixture and combine thoroughly using a spatula.

Cover the dough with cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for 2 hrs.

Preheat the oven to 180°C

Roll 40 g batches of dough into balls, placing 6-8 of them, well spaced, onto an oven tray lined with parchment. Flatten the balls down with the palm of your hand.

Bake each batch for 11-12 minutes.
