Oats Cookies

Oatsmeal   1/2 cup

Raisins chopped 1/4 teaspoon

Butter 1/2 cup

Caster sugar 3/4 cup + tablespoon

Maida 3/4 cup + tablespoon

Cooking soda 1/4 teaspoon

Cinnamon powder 1/2 teaspoon

 Method

 Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a baking tray. Take butter in a bowl and soften it with a wooden spoon.

 Add sugar and mix well with the butter. Sift flour with cooking soda and cinnamon powder into the bowl. Add oatmeal, chopped raisins, lemon rind, golden syrup and mix.   Add chilled milk and mix into a dough.

 Do not knead the dough too much. Take marble sized portions, roll them into balls and press lightly. Place these on the greased baking tray keeping sufficient distance between each.

 Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 to 15 minutes. Turn them onto a wire rack to cool. Store in airtight tin.

 

[Note:   Keep Lemon in freezer for 1/2 an hr ... to grate lemon  rind easily.  Grate only yellow portion ...  white portion tastes bitter. ]
