Oatmeal Cookies

Hello everyone! Hope you are all okay? While I was back home for a couple of days, I decided to do some baking - the perfect way to relax. My mum loves baking and cooking too so it is the perfect place to rummage through some new ingredients and recipes! One recipe I decided to make was for oatmeal cookies - I can't take ownership for this one as it is one that has been passed down but I thought they looked yummy.

To make approx 12 cookies, you will need:

• 5 oz self raising flour
• 5 oz plain oats
• 6 oz caster sugar
• 4 oz butter/margarine
• 1 tbsp golden syrup

1. In a large bowl, mix the flour and butter together using your hands.
2. Add the sugar and oats and stir well.
3. Finally, add the golden syrup. The mixture should be quite thick and dry, but stick together.
4. Roll the mixture into balls and place on a baking tray.
5. Bake at 180c for 10-15 minutes.
