Oat and Raisin Cookies – Rachel Allen Bake

This is the first recipe in Rachel Allen’s Bake cookbook and for a long time I didn’t get past that recipe in the book as they were so reliable and I could convince myself they were a healthy snack… They proved to be a particular favourite of Graham who put up our fence (180ft garden so he was working on the fence for quite a while)

Ingredients

• 110g soft butter
• 110g caster sugar
• 110g soft brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 2tbsp water
• 1tsp vanilla extract
• 250g porridge oats
• 110g self raising flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 110g raisins

Instructions

1. Cream the butter and sugars together with a wooden spoon or electric whisk until light and fluffy.
2. Beat in the egg, water and vanilla.
3. Stir in the oats, flour, salt and raisins until you have a thick and stciky dough.
4. Roll the dough into walnut sized pieced and place onto a lined baking sheet, spaced out.
5. Bake at 180C for 15-20mins until light golden brown but still soft.
6. Allow to cool for a few mins and then transfer to a wire rack.
