Notes
- Play around with the spice mixture and adjust to suit your own tastes. You can always add less and then taste the batter and add more if needed.
- Add some extra Christmas flavour by mixing some dried cranberries in to the cookie mixture.
- Add a pinch of salt to the cookies to really bring out the flavours.
- These cookies don't rise or spread when cooking like other cookies usually do. So, make sure once you have rolled them in to a ball and put them on the baking tray, you carefully squash them down
- If you don't want to dip your cookies in chocolate, but still want them to taste a little more indulgent, you could always drizzle some melted chocolate on top.
- You can quickly melt chocolate by putting it in a Pyrex bowl and melting it in the microwave.
- These cookies will store in an air tight container for up to 4 days.
- To ensure this recipe is definitely gluten free, use oats that are certified gluten free.
