  • Easy
  • Preparation time: 10 minutes
  • Cooking time: 25 - 30 minutes
  • Makes about 35 cookies
  • Ingredients:

  • 2 cups Quaker Oats
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup sugar (pale brown if possible)
  • 1 cup dessicated coconut
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 10oz / 300g butter, melted
  • You will need 2 - 3 large baking sheets.

    Method:

    1. Heat the oven to 350° F / 180° C.
    2. Mix together all the dry ingredients. Add the melted butter. Roll the mixture into balls about the size of a large walnut. This dough will be soft.
    3. Place on greased baking trays allowing a lot of space for the cookies to spread. Bake for about 30 minutes, until the cookies just start to brown. Avoid burning the raisins. I would advise that you rotate your baking sheets halfway through the cooking time.
    4. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 5 minutes. The cookies will still be quite soft when they first come out of the oven.
    5. Transfer to wire racks and allow to cool completely before storing in an air-tight container. The cookies will crisp up as they cool.
