How to make Oaty Ginger Cookies
Collect all your ingredients together:
- unsalted butter
- golden syrup
- plain/all-purpose flour
- caster sugar
- porridge oats
- ground ginger
- baking powder
- bicarbonate of soda
- fine salt
Now make them:
- Melt the butter and golden syrup, either in a pan on the hob or in a bowl in the microwave
- Add the remaining ingredients: flour, sugar, oats, ginger powder, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt.
- Mix well. Divide into balls using a small ice cream scoop or a 1 tablespoon measurement. Each ball should weigh around 30g and you will make around 18 cookies.
- Use your hands to roll them into neater balls (optional) and place them spread out on a baking sheet. Bake for 6 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and, using a palette knife, press down gently on each biscuit to flatten them slightly.
- Put back in the oven and cook for a further 6 minutes. They will be golden on the edges and thick and soft in the middle. They will look slightly underdone.
- Leave on the baking tray for 10 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Eat and enjoy! That simple but so good.
