Recipe No.15 - Oat and Raisin Biscuits

Today I was in the mood for some nice chewy biscuits, so I made the Oat and Raisin cookies. I rarely make biscuits and I'm prone to over baking them as I worry that they are underdone as they're so soft when you take them out of the oven.

Oat and Raisin are my favourite type of biscuits, much more than chocolate or ginger for example.
The Book states that these are 'Easy for kids' and that is accurate! The butter and sugar are creamed, the egg,milk and vanilla beaten and added to the butter/sugar mix and finally the flour, oats and raisins are added to the bowl. This makes quite a stodgy dough which is baked for about 13minutes.
When you take the cookies out of the oven they are still really soft but they firm up after about 5 to 10 minutes.

These are delicious as the vanilla really comes through, in future I would probably add a touch of cinnamon in too.

Without a doubt will be making these again as they are so quick!

Happy Baking! xx
