Birthday Cookies!

It was my brothers birthday today and as he had only asked for vouchers I decided to make his favourite oatmeal and raisin cookies

I used a recipe from my new book Cookies Galore and it was so quick and easy I have to share it with you

150g plain flour

150g rolled oats

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon of baking powder

1/2 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda

150g soft light brown sugar

50g raisins

1 egg, lightly beaten

125ml vegetable

4 tablespoons milk

Preheat the oven to 200c/400f/Gas mark 6

Grease a baking sheet

Mix together flour, oats, ginger, baking powder, bicarb, sugar & raisins in a large bowl

In another bowl mix together the egg, oil & milk

Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients pour in egg mixture

Mix well to make a soft dough

Place spoonfuls of the dough well apart on to the baking sheet and flatten slightly

Bake until golden, approx 10 mins

And here's some proof of their success!

Mum has the blue and white spotted one and used it as a beach bag on her recent holiday which is another great idea
