Scottish Flapjack Cookies

An easy recipe for chewy flapjack oat cookies.

FLAPJACK COOKIES

If you're like me and struggle to eat breakfast before you rush out the door to work, then
these homemade flapjack cookies are just perfect.

Grab a banana and one of these cookies and you'll be fine until lunchtime.

BEFORE WORK COOKIES

1. These cookies are easy to make before work.
2. Prepare the dough in the evening and chill overnight.
3. Turn the oven on to heat while you're getting ready.
4. Tear off enough dough for as many cookies as you want and pop on a baking tray and bake them while you continue to get organised. They bake for 10 minutes.
5. 10 minutes later (and a few minutes to cool) and voila, breakfast on the run.
6. Not for every breakfast you understand, but great for those rushed mornings and for treats.

WHAT TYPE OF OATS ARE BEST IN COOKIES?

You can use fine oatmeal or porridge oats to make cookies.

I prefer to use porridge oats, also known as rolled oats for a bit more texture, but you could use fine oatmeal. 

SCOTTISH OATS

Oats are a staple crop in Scotland and appear in many of our recipes. 

They are a healthy ingredient (full of vitamins, minerals, fibre and antioxidants), cheap and are great as the star of a recipe or to bulk out a dish.
