sultana oat cookies

sultana oat cookies
I was cleaning out my room a few weekends ago and found a folder of ripped out recipes from supermarket recipes. There weren't a lot, so I decided to make what seemed the easiest of them all. Cookies that require only a melt and mix method (like this, this and this) are by far my favourite because they are EASY! I don't even know how long I've been without creaming any butter and sugar :D

Aside from the butter content, I would say these cookies are quite healthy in terms of the amount and variety of wheat products. I like these cookies and would make them again :D

method:
  1. Preheat oven to 190°C or 170°C fan.
    Line two baking trays with baking paper.

  2. Place dry ingredients in a large bowl and toss to combine.
    Combine butter, egg and honey and add to dry ingredients.
    Mix well.

  3. Drop 2 Tb (I did 1 Tb) of mixture onto prepared trays.
