Ingredients
- 275g porridge oats or oat flakes
- 100g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
- 150g caster sugar
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1 level tsp salt
- 225g butter, softened
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4. Whizz the oats in a food processor until quite fine. Add the remaining ingredients and whizz again until the dough comes together.
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 5mm. Cut into any shape with cookie cutters and place on baking trays (no need to grease or line).
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until pale golden and slightly firm. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
