Coconut and Fruit Oat Crumble Cookies
Makes approximately 18 cookies
These cookies aren’t overly sweet and so are a good option for little ones. They have a soft, crumbly texture and are packed with oats and coconut. They could be made gluten-free by exchanging the plain flour for a gluten-free variety.
They are quick to make so are useful to have in your repertoire if you have some unexpected guests and want to offer something with a cup of tea!
- Ingredients:
- 100g oats
- 100g plain flour (gluten-free if required)
- 100g softened butter
- 50g soft light brown sugar
- 50g dried berries/sultanas
- 50g desiccated coconut
- 1 large free range egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Step 1: Mix all ingredients together until you have a combined soft dough.
Step 2: Roll into 18 equal-sized balls and spread on one large (or two smaller) lined baking sheets.
Step 3: Use the back of a fork to press the top of the cookie so it becomes flattened (these don’t really spread as they cook so you only need to leave a little space between each one).
Step 4: Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180c for 12-15 mins until golden.
Step 5: Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.
