- These are so yummy and I feel that they are a tiny bit healthy too! They keep perfectly for 4 or 5 days, and they freeze too.
Ingredients
- 150g Butter
- 150g plain flour
- 1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of soda
- 50 g ground Almonds
- 50 g porridge oats

- 50g brown sugar
- 50g caster sugar, or 100g demerara sugar
- 100g white chocolate, cut into chunks
- 1 large egg yolk, or 2 small egg yolks
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4.2. Melt the butter, and allow to cool.
3. Sift the flour and the bicarbonate of soda into a mixing bowl.
4. Add the ground almonds, oats, dried fruit, soft brown sugar, caster sugar and the chocolate chunks and mix well.
5. Mix the cooled melted butter with the egg yolk and pour into the dry ingredients, stirring to combine.
6. With your hands, form into walnut-sized balls and arrange slightly apart from each other on 2 baking trays.

8. Allow to cool a little on the trays before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Just made these with dark choc, hazelnuts and raisins - dairy free - they are fantastic - my hubby can't stop eating them!
There does seem like a lot of ingredients for cookies but they are very simple to make (the children can make them) and are favourites with both children and adults. I've made with cranberries and raisins - both great but cranberries are my favourite.
These were easy to make, delicious and a hit with the whole family. Great for school lunchboxes and will definitely make them again.
