I came across this recipe and thought it sounded good. After looking at the ingredients i realised they weren't as healthy as they sounded, but decided to give them a go anyway.
I'm so glad i made them, they have to be one of the best cookies I've ever had, they are crunchie, chewy and SOOOOO yummy!!!
You got the sweetness of the maple syrup, but the salty pecans cut through the sweetness.
I felt the nuts, raisins and oats would kind of even out all the sugar and fat, well that's what i tell myself every time i have one, but it is hard to stick to just one!!
That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!!
Makes 24 cookies
Pre heat oven 140c, 275f, gas mark 1
140g oats
50g desiccated coconut
225g plain flour
140g salted pecans roughly chopped (if you can't find salted, just add ½ tsp salt to recipe)
100g raisins
140g unsalted butter
225g light soft brown sugar
3 tbsp maple syrup
3 tbsp golden syrup
2 tbsp boiling water
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
In a bowl mix the oats, coconut, flour, raisins and pecans.
In a saucepan over a medium heat melt the butter, with the sugar, maple syrup and golden syrup, when melted remove from the heat.
Combine the bicarbonate of soda with the boiling water and stir into the butter mix.
Stir the butter mix into the dry ingredients.
Form balls of dough about the diameter of a 10p coin, place on baking tray about 3 inches apart and flatten slightly.
Bake for 14/16 minutes, depending on how crunchie you want them.
Let them cool on the baking tray for 10 minutes, as they will be too sqidgy to move.
ooh, these look gorgeous - will not help my diet, but I'm still going to give them a try, thanks!
