A good oat and raisin cookie recipe?

[hmo2b]

Am looking for a recipe that makes those lovely chewy cookies you can buy. Thanks.

I use this recipe near enough. The one I actually use is in the Good Housekeeping recipe book from about 10 years ago. These are absolutely delicious.

One adapted from Nigella's chocolate chip cookie recipe.

Oven on to 190C

225g sugar (she uses half light brown soft and half caster)
mix with 150g melted butter
one egg and one egg yolk (or just one egg if you can't be bothered with all that)
1/2 tsp bicarb
300g plain flour
300g chocolate chips

to make it be oat and raisin I take away 50g of the flour and add 50g of oats
and a load of raisins of course
chopped dried apricots are good too
and don't put in the choc chips

Blob onto greaseproof paper

Put in oven (make sure oven is properly hot)

Take out of oven when they look not-yet-done. They should look wobbly and undercooked. This is the key to chewy cookies - don't cook them all the way.

Thank you! Will try them both.

I've got a very quick low sugar recipe here www.toddler-recipes.co.uk/raisin-cookies.html. also tastes good with two tbsp golden syrup instead of the banana.

There's one on the carnation milk website. Their other cookies are brilliant
