INGREDIENTS
FOR THE OATY COOKIES:
- 120 g plain flour (~ 3/4 cup)
- 100 g butter, cut into cubes (~ 3.5 oz, or ~ 1 cup when cubed)
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- 2 sachets Quaker Oat So Simple Original (~ 1/3 cup oats)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2-3 tbsp milk
TO DECORATE:
- 250 g icing sugar (~ 1 1/2 cups)
- Gel or paste food colouring - I used black, pink, blue and purple
- Small chocolate stars, gold shimmer spray, etc (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl, and add the cubed butter. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until no large lumps of butter remain.
- Add the sugar, oats and vanilla extract. Use a palette knife or small spatula to cut the mixture together, adding a tablespoon of milk at a time until you have a soft dough (I used about 3 tbsp in total).
- Wrap the dough in cling film, and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (Gas Mark 4 / 350°F). Line two baking trays with non-stick paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the cookie dough until it's around 1/2 cm thick. Cut out circles with a cookie cutter, re-rolling any trimmings. I ended up with 12 cookies measuring around 7cm in diameter.
- Place the cookies on the lined baking sheets, and bake for around 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow them to cool on the baking tray for a few minutes until they've firmed up a little, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
